Swimming/Diving to Host Radford in Meet

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of North Florida swimming and diving team returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 9, as the Ospreys host Radford in a dual meet at the UNF Aquatic Center. The meet is scheduled for 5 p.m.

“We are looking forward to swimming the Highlanders on Saturday,” head coach Beth Harrell stated. “They are one of our conference foes who we don't typically get to swim against because they are up in Virginia so they are a little further away. We feel like we are really lucky that they are coming through town and we get to compete against them. We actually won a conference championship in the Radford pool when we were both in the Southern States Conference so we have a long history with them and we look forward to having them come swim us here.”

The Ospreys are currently 4-2 in dual meets this season with victories over Florida A&M, College of Charleston, Georgia Southern and Campbell.

Most recently, UNF dropped a 135-106 decision to UNC-Wilmington in its first home meet of 2010. The meet was close through the first five events with the Seahawks holding a slight 49-44 advantage. After a pair of diving events and four more swimming events, UNCW extended its lead to 119-86 with just two events remaining in the meet.

UNF took first in five swimming events on the day and one diving event. Junior Lyn Ann Nelson won a pair of events, while junior Megan Boudreau, sophomore Taylor Crosby and freshman Sara Evans each won a race. True freshman Julia Moomaw won one of the diving events.

On the season, the Ospreys have been solid all around. Senior Emily Shaw, Nelson and Boudreau have each won Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Swimmer of the Week accolades, while Moomaw has garnered a pair of CCSA Diver of the Week honors.
