SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. -- Despite nine out of 14 events going to the University of New England, Mount Holyoke College used its depth to secure a 145-117 result in women's swimming action on Saturday (Oct. 31) at the MHC Natatorium.

Renata Martinez collected multiple wins for the Lyons (2-0), taking the butterfly events.

Mic Hujus led all swimmers with three victories on the afternoon for UNE (1-1), which came in the 200-free (2:04.02), 100-free (55.22), and 100-IM (2:24.22). She was more than 12 combined seconds faster than the next closest competitor in each race.

Tess Zurawski snagged a pair of backstroke events, ahead of MHC's Maya Oakes. While Zurawski was 0.94 seconds clear in the 100 version (1:07.05), she extended the margin to over four ticks in the 200 (2:24.08).

Payton Walmsley added two more for the Nor'easters in the 100-back (1:14.14) and 200-back (2:44.51). Emily Gilliam was runner-up in both races, including by just 0.51 in the 200.

UNE assembled Zurawski, Gilliam, Hujus, and Donna Carrier to comfortably win the opening 200-medley relay (1:59.93). The final event of the day was the tightest finish (0.44), and the visiting squad of Carrier, Zurawski, Gilliam, and Walmsley brought home another victory with a time of 4:04.87.

Mya Peters recorded the remaining top-three showing for the Nor'easters by clocking 12:27.79 in the 1000-freestyle.

UNE will head to Bridgewater State University next Saturday for a double-dual meet against the Bears and Eastern Connecticut State University.
