Desert Sweep

TEMPE, Ariz. – No. 10 Stanford completed its sweep of the Arizona schools on the road with a 134-96 win in Saturday's Pac-12 Conference dual meet at Arizona State. The Cardinal (5-0) won nine of 13 events to bring its weekend mark to 18 wins in 27 events.

Sean Duggan, a junior biomechanical engineering major, was a double winner in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle and helped his team score in the 400-yard medley relay. Drew Cosgarea led off the Cardinal's winning 400-yard medley relay team and picked up second place in the 500-yard freestyle.

Duggan won the 50-yard freestyle in 20.72 and the 100-yard freestyle in 45.14.

Liam Egan won the 1,000-yard freestyle with a time of 9:16.42 and Tom Kremer won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:38.37 to give the Cardinal three consecutive wins to start the meet. Duggan then won the 50-yard freestyle before Gray Umbach won the 200-yard individual medley to make it five wins in five events.

Stanford wasn't finished. Kristian Ipsen and Bradley Christensen went 1-2 in the 1-meter diving, Andrew Liang won the 200-yard butterfly, Duggan won the 100-yard freestyle and David Nolan dominated the 200-yard backstroke by 2.39 seconds to make it nine consecutive event victories for the Cardinal to start the dual meet.

Jan Kutnik of Arizona State broke the streak with a win in the next event -- the 500-yard freestyle -- but Stanford had the meet under control and cruised the rest of the way to the victory.

The Cardinal has two weeks until its next competition, a Feb. 7 home dual meet against No. 18 USC. The meet will start at 12 p.m. (PT) at Avery Aquatic Center.
