ROANOKE, Va. –  The VMI Keydets won eight of 11 events, including setting a new school record in the 800-yard freestyle relay, en route to a 111-87 win over Hollins University in women's swimming and diving action Thursday night in Roanoke, Va. The win was VMI's (1-6) first dual triumph of the season.

The Keydets saw Meghan O'Halloran, Caroline Pryor, Celine Lazzaro and Katheryne Austin team up in the 800 free relay to win, posting a time of 9:09.21 to shatter the former varsity record, set just last year, by nearly 40 seconds. VMI also prevailed in the night's other relay, winning the 200 medley with four different swimmers, as Mackenzie Perkins, Flora Edelbrock, Hannah Donovan and Elise Reed swam a 2:06.89 to triumph.

Perkins and O'Halloran would go on to win two individual events apiece later in the evening, as O'Halloran took the 100 (57.41) and 200 free (2:05.58), while Perkins claimed the 50 free (26.59) and 100 back (1:09.69). Mia Cunicelli and Edelbrock were the other winners, as Cunicelli won the 200 IM in 2:42.71, while Edelbrock took the 100 breast, winning in 1:18.97.

VMI women's swimming and diving  will be back in action Saturday, taking part in a quad meet at Gardner-Webb in Boiling Springs, N.C. Action will get underway at 1 p.m.
