Stanford, Calif. -- The top-ranked Stanford men's swimming and diving team (9-0), won nine of 15 events, paving the way for a 169-106 victory over 15th-ranked Nebraska (8-3) at the deGuerre pool on Friday afternoon.

Stanford also competed against the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos, cruising to a 211-48 victory.

Diving events highlighted the day for Nebraska, as Danny Bergman (334.50), Erik Cook (289.05) and Gabe Downey (287.75) finished one-two-three in the one-meter competition. Bergman then went on to win the three meter (353.475), followed by Downey (332.10) and Cook (332.025).

Freshman Anthony Rogis captured the 100- (45.54) and 200-yard freestyle (1:39.26) events.
