ALFRED, NY – The Alfred University women's swimming & diving team was able to claim a win over Fredonia but fell to University of Rochester in their home Tri-Meet. 

The Saxons (2-2, 0-0 Empire 8) defeated the Blue Devils (1-4, 0-0 SUNYAC) by a score of 162-90 and lost to the Yellow Jackets (4-3, 0-0 UAA) by a score of 225-64 on Saturday afternoon.

"It was a long afternoon, but we performed very well."  Head Coach Brian Striker '00 said. "For various reasons we were a little short handed on the women's side and it was great to pick up a victory against Fredonia.  The Men kept a very close meet with Rochester, which hasn't really been the case over the years. I was really happy with the swims and the diving.  We are in a great place and keep our eyes focused on February!"

The first points of the day were claimed by a second place finish in the 200-medley relay by Kamila Roman (Mamaroneck, NY/Mamaroneck), Mia Spencer (Omaha, NE/Omaha Central), Sarah Anderson (Wayne, PA/Radnor), and Maureen Derry (Asheville, NC/Asheville).

Sarah Anderson won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 57.18. She also had a second place finish in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 25.95. Kamila Roman was able to claim a second place finish in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:27.97. She was also third place in the 100-yard butterfly. 

Mia Spencer claimed third place in both the 200-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard IM. Maureen Derry finished third place in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 6:08.67.
