The Greensboro College women's swimming team improved to 4-0 after it swept a dual meet at Bridgewater today. The Pride bested Bridgewater 51-44 and defeated Randolph 65-30. Alex Cooke (High Point, NC/SW Guilford) won both of her individual events (100 Free, 200 Free), and Amy Tripson (Pittsburgh, PA/Baldwin) placed first in two events (200 Medley Relay, 100 Back), keeping both of them undefeated in individual events for the season.

Complete results

The Pride boasted two triple-even winners: Emma Phillips (Hurdle Mills, NC/Cresset Christian Academy) (200 Medley Relay, 200 IM, 100 Fly) and Taylor Layton (Greensboro, NC/Grimsley) (200 Medley Relay, 50 Free, 100 Breast). Megan Lupsha (Aurora, IL//Waubonsie) looked strong winning the 800 Meter Free and placing second in the 400 Meter Free.

There were only two events when a Greensboro College swimmer did not place 1st. The competition pool was Short Course Meters.

“This was a tough meet in an unfamiliar pool, but the Pride swam tough and won both meets," said Head Coach Scot Budde. "This team should be very proud of their accomplishments so far, and I hope that their momentum continues for our meet against Guilford on December 3rd and for the rest of the season.”
