PULLMAN, Wash. -
A late meet comeback by the Washington State University women's swim team fell short Saturday, as the Cougars dropped a dual meet to the Wolf Pack of Nevada, 138-122. With the loss, WSU falls to 1-6 in dual meets this season.
After falling behind in the first event, 13-4, WSU won the next three of four events to pull into the lead, 47-44.
The Cougs took the lead on the 1-3-4 finish in the 100 breaststroke. Monika Povilonyte (Klaipeda, Lithuania) captured first place in a time of 1:04.90. She was followed by teammates, sophomores Jane Copland (Wellington, New Zealand) in third, and Lesley Ouellette (Ukiah, Calif.) in fourth.
Nevada went on to finish first in six of the nine events and take the lead for good. The Cougars had two consecutive 1-2 finishes, but were unable to catch up with the Wolf Pack.
Povilonyte finished first in the 200 yard breaststroke (2:19.95). She was followed by Copland in second (2:22.33).
In the 500 freestyle, freshmen Erin McCleave (Rutherglen, Australia) and Kayli Changstrom (Loveland, Colo.) finished first and second. McCleave came in with a time of 5:13.17, followed by Changstrom in second in a time of 5:14.45.
Senior Sasha Taylor ( Smith Falls, Ontario, Canada), swam to victory in the 1000 freestyle in a time of 10:37.11.
Washington State continues a six meet homestand next weekend against Pac-10 rival Oregon State University. The Cougs take on the Beavers in two dual meets, Friday, Jan. 30 at 6 p.m., and Saturday, Jan. 31 at 11 a.m., both in Gibb Pool.
"Oregon State is a really tough and talented team," WSU Head Coach, Erica Quam said. "It's going to be a great opportunity to race against Pac-10 Competition. We just want to keep taking steps to make our team better."
