PROVO -- The No. 22 BYU men's swim team defeated No. 24 Washington University in convincing fashion Friday night by a score of 127-72.
For the second time this season, the Cougars defeated a ranked team, with their first win over a ranked team coming on Nov. 22 against No. 25 Florida State.
"It was a good win for our team," said BYU men's head coach Tim Powers. "Our distance swimmers came through for us."
BYU managed to go 1-2-3 in the 1000-yard freestyle with freshman Travis Price winning the event, freshmen Zach Anderson and John Ferrell rounded out the top three spots.
Price, who had a big night for the Cougars, also won the 500-yard freestyle event.
"Price had a nice meet," said Powers. "He swam some strong races."
The meet was the first time the Cougars have seen action since taking home the Speedo Cup on Dec. 7.
"We haven't raced in four weeks," said Powers. "We need to get back into race shape."
With the win, the Cougars remain undefeated in head-to-head competition at 4-0. BYU captured first place in eight of the 11 events, and placed at least one athlete in the top three in the remaining three events.
The Cougars' next face the Air Force Academy on Jan. 24 in a dual meet competition at 12 p.m. in the Stephen L. Richards Building on the BYU campus.

PROVO -- The BYU men's and women's swimming teams will be back in action this week as each team plays host to different schools over the weekend. The BYU men will go head-to-head with No. 24 Washington University and the women will be facing off against Oregon State.
The contest will be the first home meet for the Cougars since their home opener against in-state rival Utah on Nov. 1, and only their second home meet of the season.
"Washington is a tough school," said men's head coach Tim Powers. "They are a strong all across the board."
BYU has not competed in more than four weeks. In their last meet, the Cougars won the Speedo Cup Invitational in Irvine, Cali., on Dec. 7.
"Washington competed during the holiday break and did not," said Powers. "We held workout instead, so hopefully we will be ready to go.
The Huskies competed in the New Year's Invitational on Jan. 3, where they claimed first place over seven other teams.
For the women, the Cougars will be swimming against the Beavers of Oregon State, a team they defeated BYU last season.
"We are going to have to swim hard to win," said women's head coach Stan Crump. "Oregon beat us last year, but this year we will have diving to help us out."
The Beavers bring a loaded roster with them as two of the swimmers, Naya Higashijima and Birte Steven, have already qualified for the NCAA Championships.
As with the men's team, the women have not competed since the Speedo Cup Invitational in December. "We have been training really hard this last week and throughout the Christmas break," said Crump.
Oregon is coming off of four dual meet wins on Dec. 20, 2002.
The men's and the women's meets will get underway in the Stephen L. Richards Building on Friday, Jan. 10, at 1:00 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 11, at 11:00 a.m., respectively.
