ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University swimming and diving team captured its fourth dual meet win of the season at Oakland University, 190-110, Nov. 10. EMU moves to 4-0 this season, marking just the seventh time in school history the Eagles have started a season without a dual loss through four meets.
Eastern was led by multiple-event victories by seniors Nicole Swartz (Dayton, Ohio-Centerville) and Delaney Duncan (Galesburg, Ill.-Galesbrg), and junior Casey Gavigan (East Setauket, N.Y.-Ward Melville). Gavigan once again swept the Backstroke events, earning her season best times in the 100 and 200 with finishes of 55.12 and 2:00.2, respectively.

The Dayton, Ohio native finished the 200 Free in just 1:54.12, her fastest finish of 2018 and more than a second ahead of her competitors. She also earned her season-best finish in the 500 Free, touching in more than seven seconds before any other swimmer, with a time of 4:57.40. Her 1000 Free finish also bested the field of competition by more than three seconds, coming in at 10:31.61.
