EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville’s Caroline Lee and Sadie Wells have swept the Missouri Valley Conference women’s swimming weekly awards, being named this week’s MVC Swimmer and Diver of the week, respectively, as announced by the league’s office today.
 
Lee, a freshman from Shepardsville, Ky., earns her first MVC accolade after turning in a perfect 3-for-3 performance last weekend to lead the Aces to a 162-132 victory over Vanderbilt. Taking first in the 200-IM as well as both the 100- and 200-breast, she was the only Purple Ace to tally three individual wins on the day. Her time of 1:06.85 in the 100-breast was just .73 seconds away from a personal best. Lee is currently ranked in the MVC’s Top-5 for all three events, claiming the fourth place time in both breaststrokes while hanging on to the number five spot in the 200-IM.
 
A junior from Monument, Colo., Wells earns her third MVC Diver of the Week title of the season. She claims this week’s award after paving the way for the UE divers in Saturday’s meet, sweeping both diving events to help the Aces take the win over the Commodores. The 2011 MVC Co-Diver of the Year finished the meet with final scores of 243.35 on the 1-meter and 266.85 on the 3-meter.
