PROVO, UTAH - Eight different Aggies combined to win 11 events on the day and UC Davis extended its winning streak to 13 against Mountain Pacific Sports Federation opponents on Saturday, handing the host Cougars a 168-132 defeat at the Richards Building Pool in Provo, Utah.
The Aggies evened their dual meet record at 2-2 this season, splitting their road trip to the "Beehive State" with Saturday's win. UC Davis hasn't lost a conference dual since falling to UC Santa Barbara on Jan. 28, 2012.
Junior Hilvy Cheung won three events and freshman Solie Laughlin took home a pair of wins to help lift the Aggies to the win, sweeping both distances in their signature events for the second-straight meet with Cheung adding a win in the 200 IM.
The Aggies led wire-to-wire, opening the meet by taking the top two spots in the 200 medley relay -- including the quartet of Laughlin, Hailey Ferko, Brittany Rojo, and Mia Facey, setting a season-best with a time of 1:46.43 to edge their teammates by two-tenths of a second.
BYU responded by taking three of the top four spots in the 1000 free to close to within two points, senior Lexy Troup finishing third with a time of 10:44.93 -- the second-fastest time by an Aggie this season -- to lead the way, and UC Davis began to pull away with a win by Kirsten Brand in the 200 free, jumpstarting a run of five consecutive wins for the Aggies.
Brand won the 200 free in a time of 1:54.97 -- the second-fastest time by an Aggie in the event this season -- and was followed by victories from Laughlin in the 100 back (58.08), Ferko in the 100 breast (1:07.15), Cheung in the 200 fly (2:03.71), and Courtney Schultz in the 50 free (24.00). Schultz's time in the sprint was the fastest non-relay split time of the year, ranking behind her 23.96 against Loyola Marymount on Oct. 31, and Cheung's split of 23.71 at Utah on Friday.
Freshman Mia Facey took home top honors in the 100 free, touching in a time of 52.03, before Laughlin came back and won the 200 back in a time of 2:05.15. Junior Elise Roberts posted a season-best time in winning the 200 breast (2:23.16), and the Aggies closed out the day with wins by Cheung in the 100 fly (55.47) and a season-best in the 200 IM (2:06.28), while senior Lucy Lafranchise was victorious on the low board with a score of 246.95.
UC Davis takes the next 12 days off before the swimmers compete in their first invitational of the season, traveling to Houston, Texas, to compete at the Phill Hansel Invitational hosted by the University of Houston on Nov. 19-21. The divers, meanwhile, will head to the desert, competing at the Wildcat Diving Invitational hosted by the University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz., on Nov. 20-22.
