The University of Maine women's swimming and diving team picked up two more wins this weekend during their doubleheader against Stony Brook and Fairfield University and remained undefeated with a 3-0 record.
Two wins each by Mimi Chovanec and Courtney Healey helped secure the women's 175-125 win against Stony Brook on Saturday. Chovanec won the 200-freestyle (1:59.09) and the 500-freestyle (5:11.15) while Healey dominated the backstroke by taking the win in both the 100 (1:01.45) and the 200 (2:10.59).
The first individual event went to Maine as the women finished 1-2-3 in the 1000-freestyle. Caitlin Shelley captured the win in a time of 10:56.52, ahead of Colleen Miller (11:01.60) and Lily Herbold (11:07.58).
UMaine took the two top spots in the 200-butterfly, as Adi Levy finished first in a time of 2:11.93, followed by Kiki O'Donnell (2:17.78). O'Donnell also finished second in both the 500-freestyle (5:18.93) and 200-yard IM (2:15.65).
On Sunday, Maine traveled to Connecticut where the women schooled the Fairfield Stags, 163-80.
Shelley won the 200-freestyle in 2:14.60 and the 100-breaststroke (1:18.24).
"It's great to have a freshman [like Caitlin] proving herself and motivating us so early in the season," Mackenzie Grobmyer said.
The women went 1-2-3 again on Sunday, as the 100-butterfly's top spots went to Miller (1:08.45), Grobmyer (1:09.74) and Nissa Marione (1:11.86).
Wins by Levy in the 800-freestyle (9:30.27) and O'Donnell in the 200-IM (2:31.97) also helped the Black Bears secure their win.
The diving team dominated the boards, as UMaine's Megan Barrett placed first in the one-meter diving competition and Laura Williamson second. The women followed by going 1-2-3 in the three-meter diving competition as Samantha Graham took first and Barrett and Williamson followed with second and third place finishes.
The women's team will return to Wallace Pool on Sunday, Nov. 18 to host Vermont.
