BIDDEFORD, Maine -- The Simmons College swimming team got three individual wins from Miriam Swisher on its way to a 156-106 victory over the University of New England in a women's meet held at the Campus Center on Saturday afternoon (Nov. 8).

The win keeps the Sharks undefeated at 4-0, while the Nor'easters (2-1) suffer their first setback in dual meets.

Swisher took home wins in the 50-yard freestyle (25.82), 200-yard free (2:01.74) and 100-yard backstroke (1:03.47). Her time in the 200-free shattered a pool record by nearly three seconds and her showing in the 50-yard free was just 0.7 of a second off a pool record.

Hannah Plourde (200 IM), Joleigh Ferro (50-yard backstroke) and Chloe Davis (100-yard free) each earned an individual victory for Simmons.

Lindsey Thomsen had a record-setting day for the Nor'easters, bettering team and pool record in the 50-yard breaststroke with a time of 32.35. The previous team record was held by Sara Shea (32.79) and the pool record (32.76) belonged to Kristen Grandonico of Roger Williams University.

Kayla Burgess and Kelly Dolyak paced the Nor'easters with a pair of individual victories each. Burgess was first in the 50-yard butterfly (28.75), as well as the 100-yard butterfly (1:02.12), while Dolyak earned wins in the 500-yard freestyle (5:41.88) and 1,650 freestyle (19:42.59).

UNE is home again next Saturday (Nov. 15) when the Nor'easters host Husson University at 1 p.m.
