Seahawk Women's Swimming Takes Two of Three at York (Pa.) Quad Meet

York, Pa. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland women's swim team picked up two wins at the quad meet hosted by York College of Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon. The Seahawks (5-2, 2-0 CAC) posted a 125-79 Capital Athletic Conference victory over York and a 104-100 triumph over St. Vincent College before dropping a 115-89 non-conference decision to Dickinson College.

Junior captain Brooke Raab (Parkton, Md./Hereford) continued her strong performance as Raab won all three of her events. She notched gold medals in the 200 individual medley (2:16.62), the 200 butterfly (2:19.67), and the 200 breaststroke (2:33.71).

Junior Elaina Kohles (Bel Air, Md./John Carroll School) tallied a gold medal of her own in the 1000 freestyle with a winning time of 11:02.50. Senior captain Erin O'Connor (Potomac, Md./Winston Churchill) picked up a third-place finish in the same event with a time of 11:15.97.

The foursome of sophomore Karlie Straight (Ocean City, Md./Stephen Decatur), senior captain Stefania D'Ambrosio (Chevy Chase, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase), sophomore Cara Machlin (Rockville, Md./Walter Johnson), and sophomore Zoe McIlmail (Frederick, Md./Urbana) swam a 4:18.43 to claim a second-place finish in the 400 medley relay.

McIlmail grabbed a second-place finish in the 200 freestyle in 2:02.55 while O'Connor came in second to Raab in the 200 breaststroke in 2:36.65. Straight notched a third-place finish in the 200 backstroke in 2:22.47 while Kohles was third in the 500 freestyle (5:30.29) followed by O'Connor in fourth less than two seconds later.

Kohles took fourth in the 200 individual medley (2:20.44) while Machlin placed fourth in the 200 butterfly (2:19.67). The Seahawks staked a fifth-place finish in the 400 freestyle relay (4:10.54) behind the efforts of senior Hanna Rizkallah (Frederick, Md./Urbana), first-year Samantha Liming (Silver Spring, Md./JFK), sophomore Katie Andersen (Clarksville, Md./River Hill), and senior Claire Huckenpoehler (Towson, Md./Towson).
