LOS ANGELES - The UCLA women's swimming and diving team captured 12 of 15 events in its season opener Friday en route to a 188-94 victory over the University of San Diego at the UCLA Men's Gym Pool.

UCLA's All-American 200 medley relay team of Jill Jenkins, Lindsay Etter, Jackie Castellano and Keiko Price set the tone with a first place time of 1:48.25 in the first heat of the afternoon. Jenkins, who along with her top finish in the 200 medley relay, also captured the 100 freestyle, 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly, proved she is fully recovered from a back injury that forced her to miss a large part of last season. World University Games competitors Price and Etter individually won four events for UCLA, Etter the 100 and 200 breaststroke and Price the 50 and 200 freestyle.

Senior All-American Cindy Bertelink enjoyed a solid performance as she won the 1000 free with a time of 10:23.43, nearly 20 seconds ahead of USD's second-place time of 10:42.59. In addition to her first-place finish in the 1000, Bertelink also placed second in the 200 fly with a time of 2:08.69.

The Toreros were led by sophomore Courtney Coleman, who took home all of USD's first-place finishes. Coleman notched first-place times in the 200 butterfly (2:06.51), 500 freestyle (5:05.05) and the 400 individual medley (4:28.08).

The Bruins improve to 1-0 overall; 0-0 in the Pac-10, while the Toreros fall to 0-1 overall and 0-0 in the Pacific Coast Conference.

Next up for UCLA will be UC Santa Barbara on Friday, November 7 in Santa Barbara, Calif. The Bruins return home on Friday, January 30 to take on 1997 defending Pac-10 champion Stanford at the Men's Gym Pool beginning at 2:00 p.m.
