Virginia men's, women's swim teams glide past Tigers for first wins of season

Virginia's 14th-ranked men's and women's swimming and diving teams defeated Clemson Saturday to win their first meets of the 2005-06 season. The men won 141-100, while the women triumphed 125-118. The Cavalier women started off slow, losing their first four events before creeping back, winning six of the final nine events to score the victory. With the victories, both squads improved to 1-1 on the season. The Clemson men also stand at 1-1; the women are 0-2.
