No. 14 USC Women's Swimming and Diving Defeats UCLA 152-148 To Close Out Regular Season
February 10, 2023 | Women's Swimming & Diving
The No. 14 Women of Troy, propelled by strong performances on the springboards, defeated the Bruins 152-148 on Friday, Feb. 10 at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
With the win, USC closes out dual action with a 6-2 overall record, going 4-2 in Pac-12 action.
USC wasted no time as they'd take an early lead following a win in the opening 200y medley relay. The Trojans A quartet of Caroline Famous, Kaitlyn Dobler, Anicka Delgado and Elise Garcia combined for a 1:36.57 to take the event.
Sophomore distance freestyle specialist Marlene Kahler recorded an individual win on Friday, capturing the 1000y free in 9:41.38. Kahler would later return to claim the 500y freestyle in 4:42.94. Freshman Justina Kozan battled to touch second in 4:45.71, just .27 seconds faster than UCLA's Katrina Bellio.
Reigning NCAA Champion Kaitlyn Dobler led a 1-2 USC finish in the 100y breaststroke, clocking a 58.04. Shortly behind Dobler was senior Isabelle Odgers in a season PR 58.88.
Other wins came from Odgers in the 200y IM (1:56.28) and 200y breaststroke (2:06.87). The senior led a 1-2-3 USC finish in the breaststroke event, with Dobler (2:09.58) and Katherine Adams (2:11.85) finishing 2-3, respectively.
UCLA claimed the closing 400y freestyle relay, leaving the final meet decision in the very capable hands of the Trojans diving squad.
Senior Lina Sculti would come in clutch, tallying 296.65 points to win the event and help the Women of Troy secure the team victory. Teammate Nike Agunbiade, who claimed the 3-meter event (337.95) was second on 1-meter with 291.40 to further solidify the win for the Trojans.
Tomorrow, USC's diving squad is back in action for some exhibition platform diving against the Bruins at 10 a.m. at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
