EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State women's swimming and diving team's meet against Illinois on Saturday resulted in a draw with a 150-150 score.
"It was very close and when you look at the results it was a tight meet. I'm happy with the way we swam," said head coach Matt Gianiodis. "I think we built off of yesterday at some levels, but give them credit they swam well, especially down the stretch. We get a week off now so we'll see what we can do."
Â
The Spartan women finished the meet with six first-place finishes.
The women's 200 medley relay claimed their third-consecutive first-place finish of the season. Clocking a time of 1:42.73 was Sam Villani, Erin Szara, Kasey Venn and Allie Heineman.
Â
Freshman Emma Inch won the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:18.24. Freshman Sophia Balow picked up a second-place finish in the same event (10:20.02).
Â
Junior Erin Szara picked up her fourth-consecutive first-place finish in the 100 breaststroke (1:02.88). Freshman Kasey Venn and junior Abbey Neveling took second and third place with time of 1:03.86 and 1:05.03, respectively.
Sophomore Ava Boutrous took second in the 200 butterfly with a 2:06.85. Junior Marie Dickson picked up the third-place finish in the same event with a 2:07.43.
Â
Taking first in the 50 freestyle was senior Allie Heineman, touching the pad at 23.74.
Â
Neveling placed first in the 200 breaststroke, coming in with a time of 2:19.93.
Â
In the 100 butterfly, the Spartans took the top two spots. Venn claimed first place and sophomore Madeline Reilly took second with times of 56.51 and 57.75, respectively.
Â
On the diving side, redshirt-senior Julia Oppedisano took second in the 1-meter (285.75) and junior Amanda Ling took second in the 3-meter, 290.17.
Â
The Spartans also celebrated 50 years of the women's swimming and diving program with alumni, friends and family after the meet.
Â
"I'm really proud and going to enjoy this right now. We got about 120-130 alumni to come back," said Gianiodis. "It means a lot to me that they are this connected to the program."
After a week free from competition, the Spartans host another two home meets. First, MSU will host the University of Illinois-Chicago on Friday, Nov. 1 at 5 p.m. On Nov. 2, they will host Big Ten opponent Northwestern at 12 p.m.
