BERKELEY – In its final meet before the Thanksgiving holiday, Cal won 10 of 11 events in a dual meet against Nevada Friday, downing the Wolfpack, 127-65, at Legends Aquatic Center.
 
The Golden Bears set season bests in five of their events, including both the 400-yard medley relay (4:43.82) and the 200-yard free relay (1:32.35). Other swims that now top the chart came from Katie McLaughlin in the 1000 free (10:00.28), Abbey Weitzeil in the 200 free (1:46.62) and Sarah Darcel in the 400 individual medley (4:15.03).
 
Amy Bilquist, an NCAA scorer in the 200 back, raced in the event for the first time this year and posted a time of 1:58.25, while both Noemie Thomas (50 free, 23,51) and Jasmine Mau (200 fly, 2:03.09) both produced victories out of lane eight.
 
Cal's other wins came from Robin Neumann in the 500 free (4:51.78) and Darcel in the 200 breast (2:17.25). Nevada's lone victory came in the 100 free.
 
Cal will be back in competition Dec. 1-3 for the Georgia Fall Invitational, where the Bears will attempt to post qualifying times for March's NCAA Championships against a quality field.
 
"I thought we did a nice job after a pretty good week of work in practice," head coach Teri McKeever said. "They'll now get a chance to go home to spend some time with their families before we head to Georgia, throw on a suit and see where we are."
