November 03, 2018 | Women's Swimming and Diving
MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State University swimming and diving women hosted nationally ranked Akron but fell, 176-121, on Saturday afternoon at Lewellen Pool.
The loss comes just one night removed from the Cardinals defeating Eastern Illinois. The women fell to 1-2 in dual meets on the year.
Ball State's highlights for the day came in the diving portion of the competition. Rachel Bertram swept the wins in the one and three-meter dives with a 264.08 and 284.30, respectively. Caitlin Locante recorded a 244.35 on the one meter which set a career record and was good for second place in that event. Rachel Smallwood claimed third place in both diving events for the Cardinals.
Audrey Schank put together a solid performance for BSU in the pool as she claimed the only other first-place finish. Schank finished the 100 Back with a time of 57.02 to win nine points for Ball State early on in the duel.
In the relays, the Cardinals started the day by taking second and fourth in the 200 Medley, and finished the day by taking second, third and fourth in the 400 Free. Makenna Bottorff, Sophie Bader, Anne Vormohr and Lauren Elston made up that second-place team.
BSU had multiple events in which it took second, third and fourth, including the 50 Back, 50 Free, and various others.
Both the men and women will be in action next in a co-ed duel at Grand Valley State in Michigan. That meet is slated for Saturday, Nov. 17, and will get underway at 1:00 p.m. ET.
