ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville swimming & diving team began Coastal Collegiate Sports Association (CCSA) competition with a 190-72 victory over Campbell on Saturday at the Justice Center Pool. With Saturday's victory, Asheville has now won 14 straight dual meets and improves to 2-0 on the 2022-23 campaign.
"The team has been working really hard in the pool and in the weight room this season, and it's really exciting to see it pay off for everyone," said sophomore Julie Lahiff. "We had high energy at the meet today both from the team and spectators, especially the other Bulldog student-athletes who came to support us."
The Bulldogs were very impressive as they won 13 of the 14 events on Saturday. Asheville started and closed out the meet with relay victories in the 400-yard medley (3:52.13) and 200-yard free (1:34.88) relays.
Individually, the Bulldogs not only nabbed the top spot in 11 of those competitions but had multiple swimmers place in the top three in 11 of the 12 events. In the 200-yard butterfly and 50-yard butterfly, the top three times were logged by Bulldogs.
Seven different Asheville swimmers won events on Saturday with four of the seven winning more than one event. Anna Marcotti (200-yard freestyle – 1:54.59, 500-yard freestyle – 5:10.10), Riley Edmundson (200-yard fly – 2:07.62, 200-yard individual medley – 2:09.47), Delaney Carlton (50-yard freestyle – 23.53, 50-yard fly – 25.70), and Beatrice Cocconcelli (200-yard breaststroke – 2:23.56) all won multiple events against the Camels.
