Retriever Women's Swimming Sweeps the Day on Professor Appreciation Day

Seniors Makaela Hill and Nyah Stahl lead the way with three victories apiece.

The UMBC women's swimmers won all dozen individual events and both relays in a meet versus Manhattan and St. Peter's at the UMBC Aquatic Complex.

UMBC defeated Manhattan,195-62 and St. Peter's, 201-37.

Makaela Hill and Nyah Stahl led the way as each senior won three events. Hill took the 50 and 100 freestyle and also won the 50 yard butterfly, while Stahl captured both sprint backstroke events and the 100 individual medley.

Sophomore Telma Maltesjö won a pair of events, touching first in the 100 breaststroke and winning the grueling 400 IM.

Other individual winners for UMBC were sophomore Bruna de Padua (200 freestyle), junior Elze Bielskute (50 breaststroke), freshman Megan Gangaway (500 freestyle), and senior Roaa Farag (100 butterfly).

The wins for Bielskute and Gangaway were their first in the black and gold.

UMBC won both the opening 400 medley relay and closing 200 freestyle relay.

"It was a great effort in the pool all the way around," said Head Coach Matt Donovan. "We put a lot of focus on power and sprinting this week in practice and it really showed off today".

The Retrievers will return to action on Dec. 1-3, when they compete in the Bucknell Invitational.
