BIDDEFORD, Maine -- The University of New England women's swimming team jumped out to a 44-10 lead after three events on its way to a 128-89 victory over Husson University Saturday (Nov. 17) afternoon at the Campus Center.

The win was the third in four starts for the Nor'easters, while the Eagles fell for the first time in three outings on the season. After its quick start, UNE went to exhibition scoring for five of the 14 events.

Sophomore Emily Zeimetz (Rochester, N.H.) picked up a pair of individual wins to help lead the way for Big Blue. She was first in the 100-yard freestyle (1:00.74) and the 200-yard individual medley (2:28.38).

Junior Jenn La Comfora (Worcester, Mass.) and sophomore Kelly Dolyak (Cheshire, Conn.) each won an individual event and were part of UNE's winning 200-yard medley relay entry. La Comfora was victorious in the 50-yard free (27.30), and Dolyak the 200-yard free (2:07.78). Senior Rachel Hanley (Wiscasset, Maine) and first-year Sam Briggs (Oakland, Maine) joined La Comfora and Dolyak to win the relay.

Also earning wins for the Nor'easters were senior Meaghan Arsenault (Methuen, Mass.), first-year Rachael Romain (Rockford, Mich.) and sophomore Erin Page (Arlington, Va.). Arsenault was first in the 1000-yard freestyle (12:24.87), Romain the 50-yard breaststroke (35.75), and Page the 100-yard backstroke (1:11.35).
