DAVIDSON, N.C. – The UNC Asheville swimming & diving team remained unbeaten on Saturday as it defeated Gardner-Webb, 236-48, and host Davidson by a score of 155-145 to improve to 4-0 on the 2022-23 season.
"We knew this would be a close meet versus Davidson," said UNC Asheville Head Coach Elizabeth Lykins. "Our staff predicted the last event could determine the outcome and so it did!! The team rallied using each other's energy to stay motivated. Our divers competed new dives on both boards and the combined effort led to two wins on the day."
In addition to the team success, junior Jade Canady shattered the program records in both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events with point totals of 243.83 and 241.65, respectively.
"The diving program is still very new, but we are progressing so fast thanks to the dedication of Coach Matthew Macon," said Canady. "I cannot wait to see what my teammates and I will accomplish in the future. When I began diving at UNC Asheville, I could never have imagined progressing this far into my diving career. Breaking these records proves we have become a competitive dive team and we will continue to improve."
In addition to Asheville's work on the boards, the Bulldog swimmers also did their part in the pair of victories. Overall, the Bulldogs won eight individual events on the day. However, perhaps the most critical win came in the day's final event (4x100-yard freestyle relay) as the foursome of Nora Segurola Larrinaga, Anna Marcotti, Abby Parks, and Delaney Carlton paced the field with a time of 3:28.78 to clinch Asheville's win over Davidson.
Seugrola (100-yard back – 56.81, 200-yard back – 2:03.64), Carlton (50-yard free – 23.33, 100-yard free – 51.44), Riley Edmundson (200-yard fly – 2:03.03, 200-yard IM – 2:08.28) all won a pair of individual events to help Asheville's cause as well. Marcotti (200-yard free – 1:53.28) and Beatrice Cocconcelli (200-yard breaststroke – 2:22.89) each picked up event victories too.
The Bulldogs will be back in action at two different meets from November 17-20. Asheville's divers will compete at the Wolfpack Diving Invitational in Greensboro, N.C. from November 17-19. The swimmers, meanwhile, will take part in the Fall Frenzy Invitational from November 18-20 in Charlotte, N.C.
