FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State swimming and diving team posted wins against Fresno Pacific and Pacific in a tri-meet on Saturday afternoon in the Aquatics Center. The Bulldogs had a dominant day - recording a 192-75 victory over the Sunbirds and a 186-88 win over the Tigers.

"We're really excited about our performance today because we haven't had a lot of dual meets," said head coach Jeanne Fleck. "This was only our second dual of the season. This was a great meet to see where we are at. We had our whole team healthy to compete today, so it was a fun meet."

Fresno State sealed the victories by taking the top spot in 14 out of 16 events in pool, as well as the top spot on both boards.
