UC Davis Sprints Past Bakersfield for Dual Victory

Jan. 19, 2014

Complete Results

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- The UC Davis women's swimming and diving team won 13 of 16 events while seven different Aggies took home individual titles on the day, swimming away with a 202-98 dual meet victory over host CSU Bakersfield on Sunday afternoon.

UC Davis completed a sweep of its weekend duals after a win over Pacific on Saturday, remaining undefeated in dual meets this season at 7-0. The Aggies host Mountain Pacific Sports Federation rivals UC Santa Barbara (Friday, Jan. 24) and Loyola Marymount (Sunday, Jan. 26) in their final dual meets of the regular season.

A day after taking home three individual titles and a relay win, freshman Hilvy Cheung picked up right where she left off against Pacific on Sunday against the Roadrunners, taking home three more victories in the 100 back (57.01), 200 fly (2:07.05), and 100 fly (55.75). She kicked-off the day by swimming the third leg of the victorious 200 medley relay team along with teammates Hilary Hunt, Liliana Alvarez, and Haley Porter, touching in a time of 1:45.56 -- more than three seconds faster than Bakersfield's runner-up quartet.

Cheung was one of four multiple event-winners for UC Davis on the day as Alvarez, diver Lucy Lafranchise, and Marissa Brown each took home a pair of wins. Alvarez swept both distances in the breaststroke, winning the 100 in a time of 1:05.86 and touching in the 200 with a time of 2:22.91.

Alvarez has swept both distances in each of the Aggies' last three dual meets -- and five of six overall this season -- dating back to their win over Fresno State on Jan. 11.

Brown took home top honors in both the 500 free (5:01.91) and 400 IM (4:33.22) to lead a 1-2-3 UC Davis sweep of the podium in each event. LaFranchise added a pair of wins on both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards, scoring a 246.85 to just edge out Western Athletic Conference Diver of the Week Carlee Burks (245.05) on the low board, and adding a season-high 253.80 on the high board as the Aggies swept in the top three spots.

In all, UC Davis posted 1-2-3 finishes in four events, adding a sweep in the 200 breaststroke behind Alvarez, Elise Roberts (2:25.36), and Caroline Weston (2:28.83). Samantha Shellem, who made her season debut in the 1000 free (10:22.94), Sabrina Cochrane in the 200 back (2:06.86), and Haley Porter in the 50 free (24.34), also posted wins on the day.

Elise Roberts in the 200 fly (2:10.92) and Lexy Troup in the 200 back (2:10.97) also earned points for the Aggies in their event debuts.
