NORMAL, Ill. – The University of Evansville women's swimming and diving team competed well, but were ultimately defeated by Illinois State this evening.

The Redbirds took the win 172-71.

"This weekend is a good test for our women's team heading closer to the MVC Champs," said head coach Brent Noble "We had some tough racing tonight, and now we get to head back to Evansville to do the same tomorrow. We don't get many opportunities to compete this many events in a short period of time before the conference meet, so this weekend is a good opportunity to prepare."

Senior Kristen Myers took the sole win for the Aces with a two-and-a-half second win, clocking 2:06.82 in the 200 butterfly. Myers also participated in the 200 Medley Relay with fellow senior Sam Gowdy and juniors Alaina Sylvester and Emma Hennessy for a 1:49.46 earning 2nd place.

Hennessy took 2nd place in the 100 freestyle, touching in at 54.74. Freshman Jessie Steele followed shortly behind in 3rd with a 54.80. Sylvester took her own 2nd place finish in the 200 breaststroke with a final time of 2:30.35.

Senior Kaylee Gubricky took the runner up spot in the 50 freestyle, her final time a 24.90. Junior Ashton Adams came through with a 5:18.11 in the 500 freestyle, also taking 2nd place.

The swimming competition concluded with Myers, freshman Pearl Muensterman, junior Kristy Kupfer, and Gubricky taking 2nd in the 200 Freestyle Relay, clocking in a 1:39.98.

Freshman Maggie Franz led diving on 1-Meter with a 3rd place finishing 228.89, while freshman Fae Keighley took 4th with 226.72 points. The two switched on 3-meter, with Keighley taking 3rd with 215.99 points, and Franz in 4th with 211.57 points.

The Aces have a fast turnaround with Senior Day taking place at Wyttenbach Pool at 1 p.m. on Saturday against Saint Louis.
