Commodores Edge Thundering Herd in Swimming/Diving

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall's Swimming and Diving program dropped a close dual meet to the SEC's Vanderbilt University on Saturday by the score of 148-113.

The Herd had an impressive first day back after time off from competition, earning a total of six first-place finishes.

Darby Coles had a meet to remember with wins in the 50 Free (24.67) and 100 Free (53.51). Catherine Bendziewicz (100 Breaststroke, 1:05.70, 200 Breaststroke, 2:22.45) and Caroline Wanner (200 Backstroke, 2:05.99 and 400 IM, 4:31.89) also earned top finishes.

"We approached this meet focusing on swimming for each other. We had a couple out with injuries and that forced a few of us into some tough doubles," said Marshall head coach Ian Walsh. "This time of the year is always a challenge coming off training trip having not competed in over a month."

"The group is looking forward to next week as we celebrate our seniors in our final dual meet of the year."

Marshall will return to the Frederick A. Fitch Natatorium next Saturday to face Cleveland State University.
