CHARLESTON, Ill. - The Ball State women's swimming and diving team improved to 2-0 on the young season as the Cardinals dominated Eastern Illinois with a 124-65 victory at Padovan Pool. The Cardinals won nine of 11 events in the victory as seven different swimmers took home victories.
Freshman Haley Richter (Roanoke, Ind./Columbia City) was one of two Cardinals to claim win in two events. Richter posted wins in the 200-yard individual medley (2:12.36) and the 100-yard freestyle (53.60). The victory in the individual medley marks the second straight for her as she posted a 2:11.11 time in the event last weekend against Evansville.
Fellow freshman Emily Wisolek (Middlebury, Ind./Northridge) also won two events in the victory, marking her second straight dual meet to accomplish that feat. Wilosek posted a victory in the 200-yard butterfly (2:10.30) and the 500-yard freestyle (5:14.59) for the first time in her career.
Other individual events wins for the Cardinals were sophomore Mackenzie Imbro (Noblesville, Ind./Noblesville) in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:51.18), senior Katie Bylsma (Westfield, Ind./Pinckney) in the 200-yard freestyle (1:52.35), sophomore Mallory Przybylinski (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton) in the 50-yard freestyle (25.01) and freshman Bridgett Ruehl (Lowell, Ind./Lowell) in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:25.38).
Ball State also took home the 200-yard medley relay event as the team of Nikki Saulters (Highland, Ind./Highland), Maria Gramelspacher (Jasper, Ind./Jasper), Przybylinski and Ruehl posted a time of 1:50.14.
The Cardinals return to action Saturday afternoon as they travel to Ypsilanti, Mich., for its Mid-American Conference opener at Eastern Michigan at 1 p.m.
