ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The North Florida swim team fell to UNC Asheville Saturday afternoon, 152-110 in a Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association dual meet. Senior Amy Taylor was a triple-winner in the meet, winning three individual races.

Senior Amy Taylor continued her brilliant start to her 2015-16 season winning three events and was the lead-off leg of the winning 400 freestyle relay. She placed first in the 500 & 1000 freestyle with times of 5:09.83 and 10:37.55 respectively. She also touched first in the 200 butterfly with the ninth fastest time (2:06.59) in school history. In five meets this season she has put five new times on the program's all-time top-10 list.

Sophomore Chase Walker was also an event-winner for the Ospreys as she took home first in the 50 freestyle. Her time of 24.97 was only .08 of her own team best time this season. She followed up the race with a second place in the 100 freestyle with a time of 53.96, a new season best and the second fastest by an Osprey this season.

In the last two events of the meet, freshmen Emily Draskovich and Lauren Kelso turned in second place finishes in the 100 butterfly and the 200 individual medley respectively. Kelso's time of 2:14.13 nearly topped her season best time and was the second fastest on the team this season.

Taylor, freshman Nicole Nesto, senior Janie Kennedy and Walker all combined to win the 400 freestyle relay in the meet's last event. Their time of 3:39.62 was also the second fastest by any North Florida relay combination this season

The Ospreys will look ahead to Nov. 19-22 where they will compete in the Florida Tech Invitational in Melbourne. Competition starts on Thursday Nov. 19 at 6:00 p.m.
