WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Isaac Poole and Nicol Davanzo picked up victories, and Elze Bielskute set a new school record in the 100 IM (58.85) as the UMBC Swimming & Diving Team honored its senior class with a solid performance in a two-day meet against regional power George Washington.

"This was a great opportunity to show what we can do against another strong out of conference opponent," said head coach Matt Donovan. "I appreciate how hard we fought all weekend long. Lots of season bests and even a few lifetime bests. Looking forward to our final opportunity next weekend at Towson then onto Championships."

The meet opened up on Saturday in Baltimore with Senior Day. Davanzo then beat out a talented to field to win the 50 fly in 25.48.

The competition on Saturday also featured a few mixed relays, and the Dawgs took gold in the Mixed 200 free relay. Sean Neils, Oliver Gassmann, Makaela Hill and Ashley Gutshall edged out three GW teams in a time of 1:28.01 to take the top spot.

On the diving side, Poole swept the competition by winning the 3 meter by nearly 80 points (340.05) and the 1 meter by over 41 points (342.75).  Kaleb Cave's strong freshman campaign continued as he took third in both the 3 meter (259.58) and the 1 meter (268.65).

Alicia Buteau continued her strong recent form as she took second in the 3 meter with a score of 295.20. Ember Stennett took third in the 1 meter with a score of 231.15.

The Retrievers will have their final tune-up before America East Championships when they head to Towson for a two-day invite beginning on Friday night with the diving competition.
