Well at least we can beat UGA in swimming

AUBURN - The No. 5-ranked Auburn men's swimming and diving team moved to 3-0 on the season with a 156-87 victory over No. 9 Georgia, and the sixth-ranked Auburn women lost a hard-fought battle to the No. 1 Lady Bulldogs, 133-110, on Friday at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center.

Auburn's men (3-0, 2-0 SEC) won nine of 13 events against the Bulldogs (2-1-1, 0-1-1 SEC) and won in their home pool for the ninth straight time, dating back to the 2008-09 season. The Tiger women (3-1, 1-1 SEC) won six events on the day and had numerous season-best swims, while Georgia (4-0, 2-0 SEC) won its 17th straight dual meet and 50th out of its last 51 outings.

"This was an outstanding meet today," Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said. "One of the best SEC dual meets I've been a part of. Both teams came ready to race today, and it was just a great battle from start to finish. Our women stepped up and were ready to race, and they put us in a position to challenge. Really proud of them."
