NEW LONDON, Conn. -- The women's swimming and diving teams moved past Wellesley College in their final home meet of the season with a score of 160-125. The women improved to 9-3 with the win. Wellesley started the meet with a win in the 200 medley relay edging the Bears by less than a second.

Sophomore Grace Keogh continued her winning streak in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly (she is undefeated during dual meets in both events this season) with a 1:58.24 in the 200 free and 59.22 in the 100 butterfly. Senior diver, Natalie Yurgil was the winner on both 1 meter and 3-meter boards, showing big late season improvements on both boards.

Isabel Robey, a sophomore, won the 200 backstroke in a dual meet best time of 2:12.30, bringing home her second half of the race in top form. Senior Lindsey Blake won the 1000 free closing in style in her home pool with a time of 11:11.75. Classmate and captain, Katie Dennin, continued her hot streak of wins in the 100 backstroke with a quick 1:00.26.
