UMBC

Ryan Karrer swept the distance events for the third time in as many meets.

Meghan Sackett won three individual events for the second straight day.

Durham, N.H.-The UMBC men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams swept a dual meet Sunday afternoon for the first time this season, as the women knocked off defending America East champion New Hampshire, 141-102, to remain perfect at 3-0, and the men (1-2) picked up their first victory of the season with a 96-63 win over the Wildcats at Swasey Pool.

Sunday marked the first-ever meeting between the two teams in a dual meet. New Hampshire’s women had not lost a dual meet since Jan. 19, 2004, at Northeastern, a streak of nine consecutive dual meet victories, in addition to the 2005 America East Championship.

UMBC’s women won all but four events, as sophomore Meghan Sackett (Cockeysville, Md./Dulaney/Maryland) again led the way with three individual victories. Sackett won the 200-free (1:52.98), 500-free (4:57.82) and the 200-fly (2:06.22) for the second day in a row, as she swept those same three events on Saturday at UMBC Natatorium in the Retrievers’ win against Navy.

Juniors Agnes Stanislawska (Zielona Gora, Poland/LO VI Zielona Gora) and Ashley Houghton (Frederick, Md./Urbana/Pittsburgh) also won multiple events for the second straight day, as Stanislawska took the 200-IM (2:08.96) and the 200-back (2:05.10), while Houghton swept the diving events with scores of 262.85 and 261.60 on the 1-meter and 3-meter boards, respectively.

Freshman Robin Klein (McMinnville, Ore./McMinnville) nabbed the first individual victory of her young collegiate career, as she won the 50-free in 24.57.

The Retrievers also won the 400-free relay, as senior Elyse Gibson (Nova Scotia, Canada/Queen Elizabeth), sophomore Lindsey Engler (Salisbury, Md./James M. Bennett), Klein and freshman Daniele Surkovich (Ellicott City, Md./Wilde Lake) swam a time of 3:36.37.

The Retriever men swept the meet, winning every event, and broke three Swasey Pool records. The 400-medley relay team of freshman Milos Djukic (Novi Sad, Serbia & Montenegro/Svetozar Markovic), sophomore Scott Auchter (Wernersville, Pa./Wilson), freshman Justin Bronson (Oshawa, Ontario, Canada/MSGR. Paul Dwyer) and senior Adam Blais (Westbrook, Maine/Westbrook) broke the pool mark with a time of 3:34.59, while Djukic’s leadoff split of 52.65 in the 100-back also set a new pool record.

Junior Ryan Karrer (Linwood, N.J./Mainland Regional) swept the distance events for the third straight meet, as he swam a 9:33.04 in the 1,000-free, a new Swasey Pool record, and a 4:44.92 in the 500-free.

Blais, junior diver Jeff Salgado (Glen Rock, Pa./South Western/St. Bonaventure) and freshman Evan Roseberry (Sinking Spring, Pa./Wilson) also won two individual events apiece, with Blais grabbing his first two victories of the season with wins in the 200-IM (1:59.15) and the 200-breast (2:16.25) and Salgado sweeping the diving events with scores of 214.75 on the 1-meter board and 290.00 on the 3-meter. Roseberry picked up the first two individual wins of his collegiate career, as he took the 200-free (1:48.13) and the 200-fly (1:58.78).

Djukic also won the first event of his brief college career with a victory in the 100-free (48.67), while Bronson won the 50-free (22.58) and junior Brian Jaeggi (Newmarket, Ontario, Canada/Sacred Heart) nabbed his first victory of the season in the 200-back (1:56.86).

Finally, the Retrievers’ 400-free relay team of sophomore Adam Eiben (Pittsburgh, Pa./Baldwin), Karrer, senior Geza Szabo (Szolnok, Hungary/Ady Endre Gimnazium) and Djukic won in 3:18.37.
