NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware swimming & diving teams played host to CAA foe Towson Saturday afternoon with the women earning a 182-118 victory, while the men fell in a 164.5-123.5 decision in Rawstrom Natatorium.
It snapped a 17-meet losing streak for the Blue Hen women against the Tigers, with the last Delaware win coming Jan. 7, 2006 in Newark.
"We had a fantastic showing this weekend, starting with our divers achieving three zone cuts and the swimming side who faced a tough opponent and delivered on every event," said head coach Pablo Marmolejo. "We fought well throughout the meet and overall, we are happy with the results and the progress we have made."
Freshman Rowan O'Sullivan was the winner of the 3-meter dive with a score of 280.45 and placed second in the 1-meter, qualifying for Zones in both events. Classmate Julia Servas took home the 1-meter to qualify with a score of 275.70.
Sophomore Mira Selling was as advertised, getting to the wall first in three events. She swam a time of 1:51.62 in the 200-yard freestyle, 51.81 in the 100 free and a 5:08.23 in the 500 free. Selling was also part of the 400-yard freestyle relay team that placed first, along with senior Audrey Duvall, sophomore Natalie Dobrzykowski, and freshman Nicole Chiappa.
Duvall was a big part of the Blue Hens' effort as well, with wins in both the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:05.85 and the 400-yard IM in 4:33.23.
On the men's side, freshman Andrew Taylor was able to contribute with a win in the 1650-yard freestyle, timing in a 16:25.50 and senior Bryce Ciecko was first to the wall in the 500-yard freestyle in 4:42.46.
The Blue Hens are back in the water March 12, hosting Drexel for the final dual meet of the season.
