ONEONTA, NY – The Alfred University women's swimming & diving team fell to Hartwick 174-104 on its final road trip of the 2017-18 season, despite three first-place finishes by first-year Lauren Serotta (Niskayuna, NY/Niskayuna).
 
Serotta swept her individual events on Saturday, winning the 100-backstroke, 200-backstroke and 200 IM. She defeated the field in the 100 back by nearly three seconds, posting a time of 1:03.69, which ranks eighth all-time in AU history. Serotta also won decisively in the 200 back and 200 IM, with times of 2:19.42 (10^th all-time at AU) and 2:28.61, respectively. Senior Megan Steen (Portsmouth, RI/Portsmouth) came in second in both events. She completed the 200 back with a time of 2:23.05 and the 200 IM with a time of 2:32.01.
 
First-year Amanda Guariglia (Valley Stream, NY/Valley Stream South) finished second in the 100-breaststroke only two seconds behind the race leader. She followed her performance up with another silver finish in the 200 breast (2:01.90).
 
Senior Elizabeth Finney (Dryden, NY/Dryden) earned a second-place finish in the 1-meter diving event (125.75).

"The women were once again led by great performances from Lauren [Serotta]," Head Coach Brian Striker said. "We are a little beat up and tired from two away meets in three days. At this point in the season teams are all in different places with training as they prepare for the championships. I think that despite our workload, we are in a good place with one dual meet left. The team continues to gel together and work together to make each other better; I am excited and encouraged as we head towards the taper phase of our season."
 
The AU women's swimming & diving team returns home next weekend when it hosts Ithaca in the Lebohner pool at 1 PM.
