Lady Bulldogs split pair of meets in California
After losing to Pac-10 power Stanford Oct. 24, the women's swimming and diving team rebounded in dramatic fashion, as the Lady Bulldogs won the final three events of the night to edge California 152.5-150.5 at the Spieker Aquatics Complex Oct. 25.
Freshman Katie Yevak won the 400y IM in a time of 4:15.28, and Georgia claimed the first and second places in the 400y free relay for the two-point victory over the Bears. Brooke Bassham, Julie Hardt, Stefanie Williams and Maritza Williams also picked up event victories against California.
300 and counting
With the victory at California, head coach Jack Bauerle has now recorded 300 dual-meet victories (men and women combined). Only a handful of coaches have posted 300 wins.
