Records Fall as VMI Tops Hollins, 109-85

LEXINGTON, Va. – VMI women's swimming and diving earned its first win of the season Thursday night, downing the team from Hollins University, 109-85 at VMI's Clark King Pool.

The team was paced by Briana Allard, who set a pair of varsity records, posting new VMI marks in both one-meter and three-meter diving. Allard tallied 192.55 in the one-meter version and 186.5 in the three-meter, winning both events.

Freshman Mia Cunicelli also set a new VMI record, breaking her own varsity and freshman best with a 1:09.54 time to win the 100-yard backstroke. Cunicelli returned to win the 200-IM as well (2:38.19), and was a part of the winning 200-yard medley relay along with Allard, Meghan Doss and Flora Edelbrock.

Doss and Edelbrock had a hand in other events too, winning the 50 free and 100 breast respectively. Doss clocked in at 27.61 in the shortest race of the night, while Edelbrock's winning effort was 1:18.90. Edelbrock then won the 200-free relay, teaming with Caroline Pryor, Leigh Fortney and Hannah Donovan in that event (2:03.08).

Pryor wrapped up the night by winning the longest event on the schedule, the 1,000-yard freestyle in 14:08.17.

Both of the VMI swimming and diving programs are back in action Saturday, facing Howard and Catholic in a tri-meet in Washington, D.C. The meet is scheduled to get underway at 1 p.m.
