GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina women's swimming and diving team outlasted Richmond (159.0-141.0) and won eight individual events Saturday afternoon inside Minges Natatorium.

"Very proud of the entire team today," head coach Matthew Jabs said. "We had some excellent performances and continue to get better as a group. Thank you to our fans who came out to support us, it makes a big difference. We now get a two week break from competition, and a good solid block of hard training as we continue to move forward through the season."

In the diving well, junior Flanary Patterson won the one-meter dive (224.00) and placed second in the three-meter dive (227.15).

Other standout performances included senior Anna Otto placing first in the three-meter dive (232.50) and sophomore Rachel Gibson finishing third in the 100 breaststroke (1:07.41) and recording lifetime bests in the 200 breaststroke (2:22.89) and 200 IM (2:10.67) to earn second in both events.
