OXFORD, Ohio (EMUEagle.com) – The Eastern Michigan University swim and dive program fell to Miami University, 137-161, inside the Corwin X. Nixon Aquatic Center today, Jan. 28.

“Hard-fought meet today, the girls came up a little short, but the energy and the performances were still at a high level,” Head Swimming Coach Derek Perkins said. “Divers were great, sweeping both events. Ashley [George] had a breakout meet, finishing with a season highs in the 1,000-yard free and 500-yard free. Liv [Clarino] won her first collegiate event today and a season-best in the 100 fly. Kelsey [Andrusak] had an explosive 100-yard free, achieving a lifetime-best time. Kiersten [Russell] achieved an in-season best in the 200 back. Riley [Hofmann] was outstanding as she won the 200IM at the end of the meet. The team showed a lot of fight. Not the result we wanted but definitely things to build on heading into the MAC championship.”
