WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The William & Mary women's swim team (2-0, 1-0 CAA) emerged victorious over the CAA defending champion UNCW women, 167-95, on Saturday afternoon. En route to 11 first-place finishes, the women set five pool records and four dual-meet records.

The Tribe men's team (1-1, 0-1 CAA) dropped their first meet of the season, 176.5-85.5, but secured 13 podium-finishes and wins in three events.

Sophia Heilen swam for three individual pool and dual-meet records in the 200 fly with a time of 2:00.79, the 200 IM in 2:03.62 and the 200 breast with a 2:15.94 finish. Her 200 breast time was also a personal record. 

The 200 medley relay team of Kat Vanbourgondien, Ellie Scherer, Heilen and Caroline Burgeson set a pool and dual-meet record with a 1:42.26 finish and the 400 free relay shaved over one second off the previous pool record as Sarah Dunham, Burgeson, Sydney Querner and Flynn Truskett finished with a 3:25.89 time.

The Tribe women swept the podium in the 200 fly as Lauren Klinefelter (2:04.90) and Clara Bodnar (2:07.87) earned second and third place, respectively, behind Heilen's pool-record win.

Gavin Lamoureux swept the fly events on the men's side, winning the 100 fly in 50.61 and the 200 fly with a 1:52.76 time. Freshman Thor Dyke earned first place in the 1,000 free with his 9:36.79 finish, leading the second-place swimmer by nearly five seconds.
