The Nor'easters teamed up to win both relay events Wednesday, but could not overtake the Greyhounds in the end
Meet Results
BIDDEFORD, Maine -- First-year Jen Ryan (Weston, Fla.) won three individual events and Assumption College captured eight in all to defeat the University of New England, 125-80, in women's swimming action Wednesday night at the Campus Center.
Ryan's versatility earned her first place in the 400-yard individual medley (5:00.98), the 100-yard freestyle (58.76), and the 200-yard breaststroke (2:40.31).
Classmate Kaitlin Owen (Bridgewater, Mass.) recorded a pair of victories for the Greyhounds, both coming in pool-record times. She took the 1,650-yard freestyle (19:32.46) more than 13 seconds ahead of UNE senior
Alison Leopard (Bloomington, Ill.) -- each posting times that surpassed Leopard's previous mark set Jan. 17, 2009 in the event (20:05.85). Owen's 2:25.10 in the 200-yard backstroke bested the time held by UNE's Courtney Burdick '09 (set Jan. 20, 2007) by the slimmest of margins -- 0.01 seconds.
Assumption first-year Amanda Guy (Lakeville, Mass.) also picked up two wins on the night, taking the 200- (2:08.26) and 500-yard (5:42.88) freestyle races.
Sophomore
Lizzie Wareham (Osterville, Mass.) notched the lone individual win for the Nor'easters, speeding to a time of 25.25 in the 50-yard freestyle.
UNE (2-1), which goes to Husson University Saturday (1 p.m.), used two completely different squads to claim both relay events -- the 200-yard medley and 200-yard freestyle -- by over three seconds.
The Greyhounds (5-1) are off until Dec. 5 when they compete at the Bentley University Invitational.
