EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Spartans women's swimming and diving team defeated Toledo b y a score of 187-110, on Friday night at McCaffree Pool. The women's swimming and diving team improved to 3-4 on the season, as the Spartans came away winners of 11 of the 16 events on the night.
"It is always nice to get a win," said head coach Matt Gianiodis. "We lost to this team last year so our girls were happy to win this one. The biggest thing is we bounced back. When we go indoors, we are a much different team."

Love also recorded two personal victories on the night. She finished first in the 50 freestyle (24.16) and the 100 butterfly (56.25)
Junior Marina Borri won the 200 breaststroke with her best time of the year with 2:21.51. Sophomore Kennedy Cutler took third place with a time of 2:25.59.
In the 500 freestyle, senior Hannah Pugh captured first place with a time of 5:06.01. Freshman Haley Kornburger followed closely behind in second, finishing with a time of 5:09.42.
Junior Elizabeth Brown continued her winning ways, taking first in the 200 IM with a time of 2:07.52.
The Spartans had a successful night on the diving boards, taking the three top slots in the 1-meter event and 3-meter event. In the 1-meter, senior Alison Menzies took first with 297.39, sophomore Madeline Sewell took second with 296.54, and senior Cristee Cordes finished in third with 265.20. In the 3-meter event, Cordes took first with a score of 336.15; Menzies took second (329.85) and Sewell third (326.10).
