Aces swim on Friday at 5 p.m.
  Competition continues for the University of Evansville women’s swimming and diving team as the Purple Aces travel to Illinois State for a 5 p.m. meet on Friday.
Evansville began its spring season last week at Saint Louis. In diving action, Courtney Coverdale took top honors in the women’s 1-meter as her score of 269.40 was almost 40 points better than her nearest competition.
Building off of her efforts over the break, Charlotte Lechner came home victorious in the 100 fly. Lechner finished in 1:01.25, just over a half second ahead of second place. Also earning a win was Michaela Kent, who paced the competition in the 100 backstroke. She recorded a time of 1:00.15, 0.97 ahead of the runner-up.
Kent contributed to a 2nd place finish in the 200 medley relay. Joining her were Amy Smith, Kristen Myers and Mackenzie Harris as they swam a 1:51.71. Myers came in second in an exciting race in the 50 free. Her 25.14 put her in second, just 0.05 behind the winner of SLU. She followed that up with a 27.05 in the 50 fly, good for her second runner-up finish of the day. Harris registered a second place of her own as a 55.21 put her second in the 100 free.
