Women's Swimming Defeats Crusaders

SELINSGROVE, PA - The Women's Swim team continued their winning ways Saturday afternoon defeating former conference rival Susquehanna University by the final score of 146-114 at the James W. Garrett Sports Complex.

The victory improves the Red and Whites overall record to 8-1 on the year, while the Crusaders fall to 2-7.

Albright started the afternoon off on a positive note taking the 200 yard medley relay in a very close race defeating Susquehanna's team “A” by .37 seconds. Moving onto the very long 1650 yard freestyle the Lady Lions gained some more momentum as Adrienne Peoples (Wilmington, DE/Brandywine), Sarah Noonan (Frederick, MD/Urbana), and Kelly Williams (Philadelphia, PA/Archbishop Ryan) earned first through third respectively. Peoples led the way for the Red and White with a final time of 18:52.51.

The wins continued to roll in for the Lady Lions as Aimee Snyder (Reading, PA/Muhlenberg) took first place in the 200 yard freestyle with a final time of 2:01.20. Susquehanna's first victory of the afternoon came in the 100 yard freestyle as Lindsay Jankiewicz earned a time of 1:03.38.

Following that victory Albright returned control of the meet once again as they closed out the afternoon in dominating fashion. Top performances included Allison Fies (Reading, PA/Muhlenberg) 5:29.88 mark in the 500 yard freestyle, which allowed the sophomore to finish five seconds ahead of the closest competitor.

Tara McAdams (Phoenixville, PA/Great Valley) also had a strong performance in the 100 yard butterfly as the sophomore went on to close out that event with a time of 1:55.06. McAdams' top finish was the final one of the afternoon for the Lady Lions as the Crusaders Christie Savard earned first place in the final individual event.

Women's Swimming returns to action on Friday when they take part in their final away meet of the season at Bloomsburg University. Start time is scheduled for 6 p.m
