 WOOSTER, Ohio – The College of Wooster swimming and diving team hosted its second straight home dual meet, with the women improving to 3-0 via a 165-134 win over visiting Ohio Northern University, and the men dropping their third in a row 228-70 in non-conference action Saturday.

The women were led by Samira El-Adawy, and her three first-place efforts, including a 2:01.15 finish in the 200 freestyle that set the tone early. She went on to touch first in the 100 freestyle (56:39) and 400 IM (4:52.10), rounding out a solid afternoon.

Joining El-Adawy as a top scorer on the women's squad was Mariah McGovern, who won two individual races, and helped the 200 freestyle relay claim a victory in 1:42.03. Her solo victories came in the 1000 freestyle (10:58.66) and 200 backstroke (2:17.77). Sisters Priscilla and Melissa Haug were winners in the 100 backstroke (1:04.27) and 200 butterfly (2:14.81), respectively, while Kara Markham finished the 500 freestyle in 5:23.56, which was also good for top honors.

The men had just one first-place finisher, as Peter Parisi won the 100 butterfly in 53.33. The 200 medley relay team of Brett Dawson, Parisi, Brendan Horgan, and Imre Namath were less than a second off the winning pace, toughing in 1:41.51.

Next up is a two-day competition at the Veale Classic, where Wooster kicks off the action by swimming against host Case Western Reserve University Saturday at 5 p.m.
