Herd S&D Takes Dual over Duquesne on Senior Day

The Marshall University swimming and diving team took its two-day dual, 300.5-223.5, over the Duquesne Dukes Friday and Saturday at the Frederick A. Fitch Natatorium.
 
Prior to Saturday's portion of the event, the Herd honored Adriana Abruzzino, Lauren Henderson, Maria McGovern, Nicole Rueff, Or Tamir, Alexis Wilhoit and Joelle Williams for Senior Day.
 
Marshall put together a great performance during the event taking first in 19 of the events across the two days with record-breaking and top-10 performances in program history.
 
"Our team really rallied around our last home stand with our seniors at The Fitch and put together a fantastic showing," Herd swimming and diving head coach Ian Walsh said. "Top to bottom we had some really well executed performances."
 
"In total, there were two pool records broken (Eszter Laban - 1000 Free, McBride, Banton, Hart, Katayama - 400 Medley Relay), two All Time Top 10 performances (Eszter Laban & Federica Savoia - 2nd and 8th in 1000 Free), one NCAA Zone Qualifier (Lauren Henderson - 1m Diving) and Five NIC "A" Standards (Banton, Tamir, and West - 100 IM, McBride - 50 Back, Banton - 50 Breast, Laban - 1000 Free)."
 
"We are in a great place leading into the final three weeks and there is a lot of confidence being built amongst the team. I know these women will be ready come February for Missouri Valley Championships."
