CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - Three Redbirds secured their second win of the weekend, but Illinois State Swim and Dive fell to UNI 198-155 as the Redbirds capped off a two-day dual with UNI Saturday.
"After a rusty start Friday night, the team came back and fought hard today," Illinois State head coach Caitlin Hamilton said. "We are encouraged by the strong individual highlights from Eva, Madyson, Emma and Olivia across the weekend. We have some adjustments to make leading into Senior Day and MVCs. We congratulate the Panthers on a great meet and look forward to seeing them soon."
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Eva Reyes rolled to a 1M Dive win, capping off a 1M-3M sweep for the Illinois State sophomore in Cedar Falls. On the heels of a 3M win last night, she posted an overall score of 280.13 in 1M Saturday for a first-place mark. It was her fourth sweep of 1M and 3M this season.
- Fellow sophomore Emma Feltzer closed out a stellar weekend with a lifetime best time in her 100-yard freestyle win Saturday. She grabbed first with a time of 50.73, which is tied with UIC's Poleena Kovalaska for the top time in the Valley this season. She won the 200-yard freestyle Friday with a time that ranks second in the Valley (1:50.69).
- Senior Madyson Morse also won her second event of the dual as she swam to first in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:21.87 on Saturday. She swept the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke this weekend in Cedar Falls.
