Results: UNR 128, CSEB 74 - FRENO, Nev. – Cal State East Bay swimming put undefeated NCAA Division I Nevada to the test on Saturday morning at Lombardi Pool. The Pioneers were unable to become the first team to defeat the Wolfpack this season falling 128-74.
"I was pleased with a lot of the racing and placing. It's a challenging place to swim with the long bus ride and the altitude. The team handled it really well and we're looking forward to building on this as we head into Fresno next week," East Bay Head Coach
Ben Loorz commented.
Mariam Lowe won the 1,000-yard freestyle (10:55.01) and
Hannah Cutts (11:02.75) completed a 1-2 Pioneer finish.
Alyssa Tenney provided quality swims throughout the meet starting with the 100-yard backstroke leadoff leg of the 400-yard medley relay. She completed the four lengths in 59.17 to keep the Pioneers within striking range of the Nevada relays.
Tenney was the top EB finisher in the 100-yard freestyle (54.72) finishing only eight hundredths of a second behind UNR's Michelle Forman for second. She went on to record the second fastest 50-yard split in the 200-yard free relay finishing her leg in 24.27 seconds.
"Alyssa is swimming very, very well.
Courtney Schwiesow had a nice swim in the 400-yard individual medley, as did
Rachel Shimizu in the 500-yard freestyle," added Loorz.
Shimizu finished third in the 500-yard free and Schwiesow was the top East Bay finisher in the 400 IM.
Cal State East Bay (4-3) will travel to the city of Fresno to take on Fresno Pacific on Friday, Jan. 9, and Fresno State on Saturday, Jan. 10.
