Freshman diver Sadie Wells has been named the State Farm MVC Diver of the Week after her stellar performance at the IUPUI Invite on Sunday.

Wells continues to make huge strides for the Aces throughout her first season. On Sunday, Wells helped the Aces to wins over Butler (119-19), IUPUI (114-24) and Xavier (89-49). In the 3-meter board, Wells placed first while qualifying for Zone with a score of 280.60. It marks the first time since Ellen Miles in 2003 that a UE diver has qualified. Not only did she hit that mark, but Wells also broke the school record for the 3 meter that was made by Megan Kelly in the 1995-96 season with 255.85. Wells also placed first in the 1-meter dive with a score of 212.50.

Wells and the Purple Aces return to competition on November 21-22 in St. Louis at the Washington University Invite. It will be the team’s last meet before the holiday seasons.
