Verb agreement question

1. My wife said she met him.
2. My wife says she met him.

Are they both grammatically correct?
I feel, 1 is correct, however, 2 doesn't sound that wrong.

I guess my question wasn't really connected to verb agreement then.
Would you say there's any preference for one over the other?
