ATHENS, Ohio - Pushing its streak of Mid-American Conference dual-meet wins to 45, the Miami University women's swimming and diving team (10-0; 6-0 MAC) downed the Ohio Bobcats, 148.5-92.5, Saturday afternoon in Athens. Led by sophomore Allison Stevens' pair of swimming victories, Miami won 10 of the 13 events contested and posted its 10th victory of the season, marking the fifth time in six years that Miami has reached the 10-win plateau.

Stevens was the only Miamian to notch multiple victories, placing first in the 100 (52.29) and 200 freestyle (1:52.43). All told, Miami posted first-place finishes in 10 of the 11 swimming events and turned in the fastest time in the 400 freestyle relay (3:30.09), an event it did not swim for points. In addition to extending its streak of MAC dual meet wins, the victory was Miami's 14th consecutive win dating back to November of 2005.

Miami kicked off the meet with five straight top finishes, with Miami's "A" relay team beginning the win streak with a first-place time in the 200 medley relay (1:46.27). Sophomore Jenn Flaherty then followed with a first-place finish in the 1,650 freestyle (17:14.90) before the RedHawks reeled off three more individual victories. Stevens notched her top finish in the 200 freestyle, and seniors Margaret Patrick and Ashley Seymour turned in first-place times in the 50 freestyle (24.11) and 400 individual medley (4:27.44), respectively.

After Ohio captured its first win of the meet in the 3-meter dive, Miami responded with four straight wins, starting with senior Diana Zeleznikar's top finish in the 200 butterfly (2:05.73). Following Stevens' second win of the meet in the 100 freestyle, sophomore Malarie Schmidt added a first-place time in the 200 backstroke (2:03.82) and junior Kathryn Stephens tallied a top finish in the 500 freestyle (5:02.45).

Miami notched its final win of the meet when freshman Karen Frazier sandwiched a first-place time in the 200 breaststroke (2:19.79) in between a pair of Ohio victories in the 1-meter dive and 400 freestyle relay.

Leading up to the conference meet, Miami competes in a pair of dual meets next weekend when it hosts Bowling Green (Jan. 26) and travels to Kenyon (Jan. 27). The two dual meets are the final meets for Miami prior to the 2007 MAC Swimming and Diving Championships, slated for Feb. 14-16 in Ypsilanti, Mich.
