BRISTOL, R.I. – The Roger Williams University Women's Swimming and Diving team got their second win of the season as they defeated Bridgewater State College 149-108 on Saturday afternoon. The Hawks record now stands at 2-3 while the visitors drop to 2-5.

Setting the pace for the women were #Caitlin O'Connor# (Wallingford, Conn.) and #Marissa Carr# (Arlington, Mass.). O'Connor took home top honors in both the 200-yd and 100-yd Freestyle events, as well as being part of the winning relays in the 400-yd Medley and the 400-yd Freestyle events. Carr was busy as well as she swam in the Freestyle Relay with O'Connor, took second in the 1000-yd Freestyle, third in the 50-yd Freestyle, and won the 500-yd Freestyle event. #Casey Meagher# (Billerica, Mass.) also put in a strong performance, as she was also a part of the winning Freestyle relay team, placed second behind O'Connor in the 100-yd Freestyle and won the 50-yd Freestyle. The duo of #Olivia Hilton# (Vernon, Conn.) and #Kelly Meacham# (Southington, Conn.) would take first and second in the 50-yd Breaststroke. Hilton also took second in the 1M Diving while #Laura Folsom# (Simsbury, Conn.) would win both that event and the 3M Diving event.

Scoring points for the visitors were Loren Phinney (Holbrook, Mass.) as she won the 1000-yd Freestyle and the 200-yd Backstroke, and Bryn Morwick (Indianapolis, IN) who won the 50-yd Backstroke, the 400-yd IM, and the 200-yd Butterfly.
