A shorthanded University of Evansville women’s swimming and diving team gave Arkansas Little Rock all it could handle but fell just short, dropping a 146-135 decision on Saturday morning at Wyttenbach Pool.

 

Courtney Coverdale was once again the top performer on the boards.  She took the top spot in the 1-meter with her score of 276.37 while her tally of 236.17 was the best score in the 1-meter dive.

 

Michaela Kent had a solid meet once again.  Her time of 53.62 gave her the win in the 100 free gave her the win by just 0.17 ticks.  In the 50 free, she was victorious once again, taking the win by over a second with a time of 24.71.

 

Taking the win in the 500 free was Maja Magnusson.  Her performance was one of the tops on the team on the day as she won by over six seconds with her 5:24.70.  Amy Smith took top honors in the 100 breaststroke, swimming a 1:09.53 to win by 0.7 seconds.

 

Capping off the day was a victory in the 200 free relay.  Madi Jones, Kristen Myers, Magnusson and Kent teamed up to swim a 1:39.19, defeating UALR by 1.25 seconds.

 

Next up for the Aces is a trip to the House of Champions from November 20-22 in Indianapolis.
