DAVIS, Calif. - Junior Heidi Kucera and freshman Jordan Lager each won three events as the UC Davis men's and women's swimming and diving teams swept a Big West Conference dual from UC Irvine at Schaal Aquatics Center Saturday afternoon. The Aggie women earned a 175-123 victory while the men's team won by a score of 161-128. The meet also marked the final home competition for 12 Aggie seniors.

With the wins, the women complete their dual season with a 9-10 record and the men improve to 9-3. The victory also marked the Aggies' fist sweep over the Anteaters since beginning competition in the Big West during the 2004-05 season.

The men's team won the first 10 events and swam the final four as exhibition. The Aggies had the top times in all but one of those exhibition events. On the women's side, each team won eight events but UC Davis distanced itself by sweeping the relays and finishing 1-2 six times, two of which came in the relays.

Lager had the best times of his collegiate career en route to three victories. He set new Schaal Aquatics Center records in both backstroke events with his time of 49.29 in the 100 and 1:49.37 in the 200. In addition, his winning mark of 2:03.62 as an exhibition swimmer in the 400-yard individual medley was the third best in pool history.

Kucera put together another three-win performance with top times in both breaststroke events and the 400 IM. Kucera went 1:05.62 in the 100 breast and 2:24.54 in the 200 breast. She claimed the 400 IM win in 4:30.97. Kucera also swam the breast leg on the winning 200 medley relay team that went 1:47.47.

Junior Ed Morrision was the only other Aggie to win multiple events as he claimed the top spot in the 200 butterfly and 500 free as an exhibition swimmer. His mark of 4:33.69 in the 500 is second all-time at Schaal. Freshman Adam Borchard added the pool records with a new mark 9:17.59 in the 1,000 free.

UC Davis swept all four relay events. The men's team captured the 200 medley relay in 1:32.42 and the 400 free relay in 3:04.66 in exhibition. The times were second and third fastest, respectively, at Schaal. Along with the 200 medley, the women won the 400 free in 3:37.97. The Aggies finished 1-2 in all four events.

The Anteaters swept the four diving events with top two finishes in each. Sophomore Paul Navo again led the men's team with third-place showings on both boards. Senior Kendra Hughes and junior Hilary Brunner were the top Aggie women finishers in each respective event.

The dual marked the final home competition for 12 UC Davis seniors. Divers Hughes and Michael Androus were honored along with swimmers Alex Arbios, Evan Kraus, Adam Pluemer, Trent Richardson, Amber Bonds. Carolyne Charvoz, Sheeva Ghanbari, Janice Leung, Mary Struempf and Emily Medved.

The Aggies will spend the next two weeks away from competition to prepare for the upcoming Big West Conference Championships, which begin Feb. 25.
