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.
Â
"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.
Â
"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."
