KEENE, N.H. 1/16/10 - The Keene State College women's swim dive team won all 16 events in a 140-116 dual meet victory over Eastern Connecticut State University at Spaulding Gym Pool on Saturday.

            The Owls, who improve their dual meet record to 4-3, continued their dominance in the pool against LEC competition.  Since joining the LEC, KSC has a perfect 28-0 dual meet record against conference teams.

            Senior Alea Paddock (Newbury, N.H.) had a big day in the pool for the Owls, winning three events.  She posted wins in the 400 I.M. (4:49.41), 100 breast (1:10.77), and 200 breast (2:33.84).

            Seniors Kristine Trutor (Holden, Mass.) and Jackie Foster (Goffstown, N.H.), sophomore Jillian Whitaker (Gilford, N.H.), and freshman Kaila Umbarger (Chelmsford, Mass.) were double winners for the Owls.  Trutor won the 100 back (1:01.52) and the 200 back (2:17.13), Foster won the 200 free (2:02.50) and 500 free (5:25.18), Whitaker won the 100 free (55.76) and the 100 I.M. (1:03.010), and Umbarger won the 50 free (24.86) and the 100 fly (1:00.11).

            Sophomore Maureen O'Leary (Nashua, N.H.) won the 200 fly (2:20.27) and freshman Jaclyn Rando (Walpole, Mass.) won both one-meter (196.30 points) and three-meter (184.55 points) diving events.

            KSC also swept both relays.  Sophomore Meghan Wilson (Torrington, Conn.) teamed with Whitaker, Trutor, and Umbarger to win the 200 medley relay (1:53.47) and Paddock, O'Leary, Trutor, and Foster combined to win the 400 free relay (3:52.00).

            "I was happy the way we raced after some intense training in Puerto Rico," said KSC Coach Jack Fabian.  "Sometimes the first meet out of winter training can be a challenge, but the swimmers seemed very focused and performed well."
