STOCKTON, Calif. -- Junior Hilvy Cheung won two events and posted the fastest time in another, while the UC Davis women's swimming team won eight events on Saturday afternoon, lifting the Aggies to a 136-114 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation dual meet victory over Pacific at the Chris Kjeldsen Pool in Stockton, Calif.
The Aggies close out the regular season at 5-2 overall and a perfect 3-0 in MPSF duals this season -- extending their winning streak to 15 straight against conference opponents. The Tigers fell to 1-5 overall and 0-3 against league opponents.
UC Davis won eight of the first 11 events before exhibitioning the final three events of the day after the win was in hand. Cheung, normally the Aggies' stalwart in the butterfly, doubled in both the 100 (56.43) and 200 (2:04.56) backstroke, while posting the fastest time of the day in the 100 fly (54.91) as an exhibition -- the second-fastest time of the season in that event by a UC Davis swimmer.
A win in the 200 medley relay kicked-off the meet for UC Davis as the quartet of Cheung, Hailey Ferko, Mia Facey, and Kirsten Brand, touched in a time of 1:44.83 to take home the top spot. Sophomore Robin Lampron posted a win in the 200 free (1:53.43) to spark a stretch of four straight event wins for the Aggies, as newcomers Iris Brand in the 100 breast (1:05.27) and Eva Chung in the 200 fly (2:08.10) helped stake the visitors to an 80-31 lead after six events.
UC Davis swept the podium in the 200 free (Lampron, Kirsten Brand, Facey) and 200 fly (Chung, Sara Ramos, and Solie Laughlin), as Facey in the 100 free (52.21) and Lexy Troup in the 500 free (5:09.06) followed with victories as the Aggies went up 136-70 after 11 events to take control.
The postseason begins on Feb. 17 as UC Davis heads to Southern California for the 2016 MPSF Championships. For the fifth consecutive year, the swimming events will be contested at East Los Angeles College in Monterey Park, Calif., while the divers will compete at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in Pasadena, Calif., beginning on Feb. 18.
Last season, the Aggies finished second at the conference meet with 632 points, trailing only champion Hawai'i, which led wire-to-wire, with 747 points.
