BERKELEY, Calif. – The Pacific men's swimming team (2-1) fell to the top-ranked Cal Bears (2-0) Thursday afternoon, 179.5-88.5.

"We swam against the best today, and the guys stayed focused on their races," said Head Coach Katelyne Herrington. "We swam smart with the number of events each swimmer had while also being a quick session. We are gearing our focus towards our upcoming meet against CSU Bakersfield."

Junior Aidan Scott took second in the 200 yard backstroke, and sophomore Mitchell Hopper finished second in the 100 yard freestyle to lead the Tigers.

The Tigers took third through sixth in the 1000 yard free, with freshman Ethan Cole taking third, freshman Gabe Windmiller taking fourth, senior Nicholas Cisco taking fifth, and junior Aidan Vulgas taking sixth.

The 50 yard freestyle race brought a third-place finish for the Tigers thanks to junior Alex Kurotori, and another third-place finish came from freshman Bridger Sink in the 200 yard breaststroke.

Freshman Jack Springer finished the 400 yard individual medley with a time of 4:18; something Coach Herrington is pleased with against a top-ranked Cal team.

The Tigers are back in action at home as they host Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday, Nov. 5, at noon at the Chris Kjeldsen Pool.
