Razorbacks' First Loss of Season Comes to No. 10 Stanford
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Razorbacks made a cross-country trip to take on tenth-ranked Stanford at the Avery Aquatic Center in Palo Alto, California. Stanford is a perennial powerhouse and proved to be a very difficult adversary for the Hogs, who fell to Stanford by a score of 161-133.
Bella Cothern had first place finishes in the 50 and 100 Freestyle. Cothern posted NCAA B-cut times in both events with times of 22.23 and 49.03 respectively.

Betsy Wizard finished second in the 100 Butterfly with a time of 53.02, her best so far this season, which was also an NCAA B-cut time.
In the dive tank, the Razorbacks dropped 3-Meter Diving to Stanford, finishing Isa Perreira in fourth, Lauren French in fifth, and Malea Martinez in sixth. The Hogs notched the top two finishes in the 1-Meter Diving portion of the competition. Anna Arnautova earned a first-place finish with a score of 304.73.
