FORT MYERS, Fla. – The UNC Asheville swimming & diving team defeated Florida Gulf Coast by a score of 148-95 in its final competition of the calendar year on Tuesday. The victory, which is Asheville's first-ever over the Eagles, improves the Bulldogs' record to 5-0 on the 2022-23 season.
"Today's win was a milestone for this program," said UNC Asheville Head Coach Elizabeth Lykins. "After two weeks of tough training, this team really stepped up and competed! On the boards, the ladies completed new dives and earned some PR's. In the pool, we raced to nine of 11 first-place finishes. This was a great way to wrap up the 2022 dual meet schedule."
Asheville bookended Tuesday's meet with a pair of relay victories. Nora Segurola Larrinaga, Beatrice Cocconcelli, Addison Wright, and Delaney Carlton combined to win the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:44.58 to open Tuesday's action before Segurola and Carlton teamed up with Anna Marcotti and Abby Parks to take the top spot in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:36.07).
The Bulldogs saw their fair share of success in the individual events as well. Hefner, who was named the CCSA Swimmer of the Week earlier in the day, won both the 500-yard freestyle (5:06.69) and 1000-yard freestyle (10:24.44).
Members of Asheville's two relay teams also picked up some event wins on the day. Carlton continued her dominance in the 50-yard freestyle pacing the field clocking in at 23.36. Upperclassmen Parks (100-yard free – 52.23) and Segurola (100-yard back) finished first in their events as did freshmen Marcotti (200-yard freestyle – 1:54.32) and Cocconcelli (200-yard IM – 2:07.42).
On the boards, five different Bulldogs competed. Jade Canady led the way in both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events with point totals of 221.93 and 220.65, respectively. Canady, who placed third in both events, was not the only Bulldog diver to score points for the team as Haley Fein (1-meter – 206.70) and Morgan Coughlen (3-meter – 216.90) did as well.
As mentioned earlier, Tuesday was the Bulldogs' last time in the pool in 2022. Asheville's first meet of 2023 will be at the Justice Center Pool on January 6 when it hosts Gardner-Webb at 5:30 p.m.
