(Vestal, NY \u2013 Jan. 18, 2013) The Colgate women\u2019s swimming and diving team won all 16 events in an impressive performance at Binghamton in a 200-93 victory on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Raiders got three wins from Morgan Cohara, while four others won two events. Colgate also finished first and second in six events.<\/p>\n

The meet started off with Lia Kunnapas, Emma Santoro, Jenna Jacoby and Lindsey Sagasta, winning the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:49.98. Most of the team was also back in the pool for the 200 free relay with Kunnapas, Jacoby and Sagasta joining Sami Wary to win the event, clocking in at 1:39.73.<\/p>\n

Cohara was the big performer of the day for the Raiders with three wins. It started with the 100 backstroke. She took the top spot with a time of 58.91 seconds, which was a couple of seconds faster than Jacoby, who took second at 1:00.73. Cohara continued with wins in the 200 back and 500 free. She clocked in at 2:09.94 in the backstroke and won by over 10 seconds in the 500 free with a time of 5:08.97.<\/p>\n

Sagasta was one of the four swimmers to earn two wins during the meet as she won the longest swim of the day. She finished with a time of 17:37.35 in the 1650 free, which was over 20 seconds ahead of Melanie Lockard, who took second at 17:59.29. Sagasta then added to her win total by winning the 100 free, clocking in at 52.45 seconds and Kunnapas took second at 53.86 seconds.<\/p>\n

The next Raider to win twice was Becca Murray. She won both breaststroke events, starting with the 100 breast as she edged out teammate Cammie Kirby with a time of 1:09.31. Kirby finished second by just .15 seconds, clocking in at 1:09.46. Murray won the 200 breast in more of a convincing fashion with a time of 2:28.91, which was three seconds ahead of second.<\/p>\n

Santoro made her mark on the meet in the butterfly events with both victories. She won the 200 fly by 10 seconds, finishing in the top spot at 2:11.27. Santoro then earned the sweep in the fly events by taking the 100 fly at 59.94 seconds.<\/p>\n

Kim Pilka continues to dominate on the board as she swept both diving for the third time since coming back from break. She won the 3-meter dive with a score of 265.12, while Chloe Russack took second with 237.60 points. Pilka won the 1-meter dive with a score of 258.90, which was over 30 points ahead of second.<\/p>\n

Colgate had three swimmers take home wins in other events. Kunnapas swam to a first-place finish in the 200 free with a time of 1:55.51, edging out Ryan Marynowski, who ended up second at 1:56.93. Wary joined Kunnapas in the win column with her victory coming in the 50 free as she clocked in at 25.10 seconds and Megan Jex took home a win in the 200 individual medley, clocking in at 2:10.97, and her win completed the sweep of all individual events.<\/p>\n

The Raiders will be back in the pool on Jan. 26 with a visit to West Point to take on Army and Lafayette, in what will be a good tune up for Patriot League Championships. The meet is set for a 1:00 p.m. start.<\/p>\n
