BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Haley Griffin and Katie Durrua each claimed a couple individual events to lead the University of New England women's swimming team past Saint Joseph's College of Maine, 174-72, at the Campus Center Pool on Friday evening (Oct. 29).

Griffin touched the wall first in the 100-yard backstroke (1:05.75) and the 50 butterfly (30.39). The 50 fly was easily the tightest finish of the night, as UNE teammate Olivia Roy was just 0.03 seconds behind (30.42) and Kiley Matthews of SJC 0.64 later.

Durrua captured the 100 butterfly (1:05.38) and the 500 freestyle (5:49.20). Roy added to the Nor'easter cause by taking the first solo event, the 400 individual medley (5:28.28).

UNE received winning performances out of Annika Doeppers and Caitlin Cournoyer, as well. Doeppers clocked 2:30.65 in the 200 individual medley, while Cournoyer's was in the 50 backstroke (33.03), narrowly ahead of teammate Jess Russell (33.52). Doeppers was also less than one second off the pace set by the Monks' Brooke Podsiadlo in the 200 freestyle.

The Nor'easters (2-1) took nine races, in all, which included a pair of relays. Griffin, Doeppers, Durrua, and Kheara Zito combined to win the 200 medley swim (2:03.36). April Falstad, Zito, Roy, and Durrua closed things out with a 4:15.07 in the 400 freestyle relay.

For Saint Joseph's, Matthews and Tiffany Twombly won two races.

UNE will host Mount Holyoke College next Saturday (12 p.m.).
