GREENVILLE, N.C. – Hosting its first meet of the season, the East Carolina women’s swimming team earned wins over Barton College (194.0-49.0), Campbell (159.0-84.0) and Chowan (196.0-29.0) behind 11 individual wins Friday inside Minges Natatorium.
“Great to pick up some wins tonight,” ECU Head Coach Matt Jabs said. “We improved on last week and I was happy with what I saw from the team. Whenever you can win 11 of 13 events, it’s a really good day. But it wasn’t just our winners that impressed us tonight, we had a lot of improvement over last week throughout the roster.
“We talked about getting better each time we race and I feel like that was accomplished today. We now face a quick turnaround and against a talented University of Richmond team tomorrow at 12noon. We’ll enjoy these wins tonight, but once we go to bed, tonight is over and we need to be ready for tomorrow.”
Senior Polina Rukosuev won three events on the day claiming first in the 500 free (5:02.16), 200 free (1:53.17) and 400 IM (4:34.26). Through two meets on the season, Rukosuev has now place first in five events.
