BAKERSFIELD, Calif. \u2013\u00a0The Pacific swim and dive program earned a 127-83 victory over Cal State Bakersfield on the women’s side but came up short on the men’s side in a 126-82 decision on Friday afternoon from the John S. Hillman Memorial Aquatic Center.<\/p>\n

Redshirt senior Diana Chan<\/a> played a key role for the Pacific women, helping notch four first-place finishes en route to the Tigers’ fourth win of the 2025-26 campaign. The men dropped to 1-2 on the year.<\/p>\n

Chan swam the fastest in the women’s 100 yard backstroke with a time of 56.98 and in the women’s 200 yard backstroke with a time of 2:04.32. She wrapped up the day in the women’s 400 freestyle relay, swimming the third leg in Pacific’s first-place nod there.<\/p>\n

Sophomore Christina Agiomamitou<\/a> picked up a pair of first-place finishes on Friday, touching the wall first in the women’s 200 yard freestyle (1:52.22) and in the women’s 500 yard freestyle (5:04.62).<\/p>\n
