TEMPE, Ariz. - A day after splitting its dual meet with No. 2 Arizona and Northern Arizona, the Oregon State swim team fell to Arizona State 82-180.

The Beavers (5-7, 0-4 Pacific-10 Conference) won three races and delivered another solid performance.

“We culminated the trip with two good meets, especially today,” OSU head coach Larry Liebowitz said. “Both outcomes this weekend were good and we are now in position to move forward to the next few meets and then the Pac-10 Championships.”

A day after winning two races, Kayla Rawlings won the 200 Yard Butterfly (2:03.96) by over three seconds. Rawlings also helped the OSU relay team to a second place finish (1:47.26) in the 200 Medley Relay.

Saori Haruguchi won the 200 Backstroke (2:02.70), earning her 18th dual meet win of the season and 33rd of her career.

Haruguchi is now seventh all-time in career dual meet wins.
