ROCHESTER, NY -- Alfred University's Women's Swimming and Diving team won one and lost one in its tri-meet against the University of Rochester and Fredonia on Saturday.

"The team continued to swim well despite a hard week of practices," assistant coach Fynn Vossler said. "I'm looking forward to continuing to build towards our mid-season meet at Ithaca in a few weeks."

While the Saxons were unlucky to not get a win in any of the races, they took plenty of runner-up positions along the way. Sarah Anderson (Wayne, PA/Radnor) was part of the third-place finishing 200-yard Medley Relay team with a time of 2:00.46, but finished second on three different occasions. This included in the 100-yard Butterfly at 1:02.97, the 100-yard Freestyle with a 55.92, and her 50-yard Freestyle time clocking in at 25.06 - the latter two times being personal bests. Her 25.06 time in the 50-Free is the fifth-fastest time in school history.

Maureen Derry (Asheville, NC/Asheville) took home the other second-place finish in the team. It came in the 200-yard Backstroke, with a time of 2:29.69. Alongside Anderson in the 200-Medley Relay, the other two in the relay race consisted of Isobel Anderegg (Wellsboro, PA/Wellsboro) and Mariam Kiragu (Gaborone, Botswana/Legae Academy). Anderegg also wrapped up third in the 100-yard Breaststroke with a 1:16.71.

Other podium finishers for Alfred University included Alexandra Simmons (Danbury, CT/Danbury) in the 200-yard Backstroke at 2:36.70, and Liv Richeda (Endwell, NY/Maine-Endwell) in the 1000-yard Freestyle, smashing her previous personal best time by 17 seconds with a time of 12:27.23.

 In the end, the point totals led the Saxons to fall to the University of Rochester 235-51, but ensured a good win over Fredonia 178-71. Brian Striker's '00 swimmers go up next at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford on November 16 at 12 PM.
