STOCKTON, Calif. – The 2022-23 season opened for the Cal State East Bay women's swimming team on Saturday in a dual meet at Pacific. Although the Pioneers lost to the Tigers, 167-95, some very exceptional individual performances in the pool were on display.
 

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES

• Brooklyn Dressel placed first in the 50 yard freestyle with a time of 23.48 seconds, which was the fastest NCAA Division II time thus far for the season and a lifetime best for her.
• Dressel also placed first in the 100 yard freestyle, with a time of 51.97.
• Even with Dressel's outstanding time on the 50 yard freestyle, Delaney Carlson also finished fast with a time of 24.11.
• Kylie Beaudet, in her first collegiate meet, placed first in the 200 yard individual medley, finishing in 2:11.95.
• The 400 yard freestyle relay team of Dressel, Jacqueline Feurtado, Olivia Parham and Carlson finished first in a time of 3:35.22.

QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH SHANE PELTON

 
"Overall I was very pleased with our effort and execution today. This meet being so early in the season is an opportunity to gauge where we are at and focus on a lot of the details without a huge amount of expectations."
 
"Brooklyn was a huge standout today. I really couldn't believe her time in the 50 free. For the first time in my coaching career, I actually had to question whether or not there was a malfunction with the timing system. She looked phenomenal, but putting up that kind of time this early in the season is incredible." 
 
"The funny thing about that race is Brooklyn's time caught me so off guard, it took away from a huge swim from Delaney. 24.11 was by far Delaney's best dual meet swim and definitely something we can build off."
