The William and Mary women's swimming team brought its dual-meet schedule to close on a high note Saturday afternoon, cruising past Mary Washington on the road 164-87.  With the win, the Tribe finishes its 2011-12 ledge at 8-5 overall with the most wins in a year since going 10-2 in 2008-09.

200 Medley Relay
The Tribe won each of the first 11 events, beginning with a sweep of the 200 medley relay.  The Tribe's winning team touched the wall in 1:46.78, and included Gabrielle Mizerak (Manassas, Va.), Emily Bart (Cherry Hill, N.J.), Hailey Hewitt (Fairfax, Va.), and Sara Shaner (Clarendon Hills, Ill.).  Second went to the team of Laura Matthews (Drexel Hill, Pa.), Liz Collins (Alexandria, Va.), Megan Howard (McLean, Va.), and Kristin Fimian (Oakton, Va.), in a time of 1:49.48.  The quartet of Liz Glenn (Greenwood Village, Colo.), Greta Schneider (Moorestown, N.J.), Kayla O'Malley (Vienna, Va.), and Gabby Famularo (Virginia Beach, Va.) was third, with an aggregate time of 1:52.62.

200 Fly
Senior Molly Emery (Burke, Va.) won her team-leading 19th victory of the season in the 200 fly, timing an impressive 2:06.75.  Her performance ranks her ninth all-time at the College in the event, and she now appears among the top-10 in 10 of the 14 individual swimming events in school history.  The win was also the 60th of her career, making her just the sixth swimmer in school history to reach that plateau and the second this season alone (classmate Hailey Hewitt began the year with 59, and now has 63).  Also in the 200 fly, freshman Emma Carpenter (Haddonfield, N.J.) was third in 2:19.14.

50 Free

In the 100 free, senior Kelly Fini (Manassas, Va.) was able to claim the first win of her career with a sprint down the final stretch to hold-off Caylyn Tate, 55.35-55.80.  Katie Thomas was third, timing 57.06 seconds.

200 Back
Laura Matthews won the 200 back in 2:10.66, easily outdistancing the field to claim gold.  Junior Meghan Baker (New Rochelle, N.Y.) was second in 2:16.13, and Emma Carpenter was fifth in 2:25.36.

500 Free
The Tribe's final contested event (before exhibitioning the final three) was the 500 free, where sophomore Jen Bentley (Jamestown, N.Y.) stopped the clock in 5:02.36 for the win.  Hailey Hewitt was second in 5:11.65, and Liz Glenn completed the sweep in 5:17.17 for third.

With the dual-meet season now complete, William and Mary will turn its attention to the CAA Championships coming up in three weeks at George Mason.  Those athletes who don't make the championship roster will compete next weekend, Feb. 10-11, at the Terp Invite at Maryland.
