Cougars Fall to Wolf Pack

Jan 27, 2001

RENO, Nev. - The University of Nevada's women's swimming and diving team relied on depth to upend Washington State 151.5 to 111.5 Friday night here at Nevada's Lombardi Pool, winning eight of the 14 events.

Senior Ping Luo led the Pack with two firsts in the 200 freestyle and 200 butterfly and the Pack also had wins from both relay teams, the 200 medley and 200 freestyle. No diving events were held since Washington State didn't have any divers.

Also winning events for Nevada were senior Rebecca Shepherd (100 back), freshman Amy Murphy (200 back), freshman Danielle Laurent (500 free) and freshman Colleen Morgan (100 butterfly). Freshman Leticia Cunha, junior Kathy Echiverri, freshman Anna Gustavsson and freshman Riva Davidson teammed in the victorious 200 medley relay and Davidson, Gustavsson and Echiverri were joined by junior Brandi Reichardt to take the 200 freestyle relay.

WSU Freshman Taryn Ternent, from Edenvale, South Africa, won three events in the meet. Ternent claimed victory for the Cougars in the 50 and 100 freestyle with times of 24.12 and 52.88 seconds respectively, as well as the 100 backstroke in 58.33 seconds.
