OXFORD, Ohio - In its most dominating performance of the new season, the Miami women's swimming and diving team won all 14 swimming events and one of the two diving events in a 177-118 win over Ball State at the Nixon Aquatic Center on Friday evening. Miami had a season-high five two-time individual winners, and sophomore Margaret Patrick (Marietta, Ga./Holy Innocents) stood atop the winner's stand a total of four times versus the Cardinals.
Patrick's first victory came as she swam the closing leg of the 400 Medley Relay, teaming withjuniors Katie Unger (Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead) and Katie Forster (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville) and freshman Lauren Evanosky (Westport, Conn./Staples) to finish in a Miami season-best 3:54.19.
Senior Julie Madden (Canton, Ohio/Hawken) then won the first of two races she captured on the night, leading a group of five RedHawk swimmers to touch the wall ahead of any Cardinal in the 500 Free. Madden finished the race in a career-best 10:26.22. Forster followed with a win in the 200 Free in 1:54.92, and freshman Evanosky claimed the 100 Back in 59.12. Fellow rookie Kristen Bezier (Evans City, Pa./Seneca Valley) continued the victory parade by winning the 100 Breast in 1:06.84, followed by Unger's win in the 200 Fly in 2:07.19 and Patrick's win in the 50 Free in 24.46.
Ball State's only victory on the night came in the 1-meter diving competition, where Katie Boyle finished with 232.57 points. Sophomore Katie Meister (Cincinnati, Ohio/McAuley), who would go on to win the 3-meter dive with 237.36 points, was Miami's highest finisher in the 1-meter, taking fourth. For the second-straight weekend, Miami was without the services of junior springboarder Christin Eberst (Clifton Park, N.Y./Shenendehowa), a past NCAA qualifier.
