JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The University of North Florida swimming and diving team moved to 2-1 on the season Saturday, splitting its first home meet of the 2006-07 campaign with the College of Charleston and Florida A&M.
The Lady Ospreys captured a 203-11 victory over FAMU, while falling 151-91 to College of Charleston.
Kristen Nemecek and Maria Bianchi each captured wins for UNF in the 200-breastroke and 200-IM, respectively.
UNF's freshman class continued to perform well in only its second meet. Bianchi captured the 200-IM in a time of 2:14.17, while Justine Kane inserted herself into the UNF record book in the 200-butterfly. She swam that race in a time of 2:12.90, which is good for eighth place on the all-time list in that event at UNF.
Lindsey McKelvey also turned in a strong personal performance in the 100-freestyle, finishing in :54.93, which was just behind her best personal best from last season, a :54.60 recorded at the Pacific Coast Swimming Championship.
Along with the women, the Florida A&M and College of Charleston men were also in action Saturday, with COC recording a 105-61 victory.
New Orleans was also scheduled to compete in the event, but did not make the trip because of travel difficulties.
UNF is back in action next weekend when it travels to Davidson for a three-day meet, beginning Friday and finishing up on Sunday.
