MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - Senior Jewels Hepner broke the Anttonen Natatorium record in the 100-yard breaststroke and the Millersville women's swimming team won seven events, but East Stroudsburg pulled off a narrow 131.5-130.5 win Saturday. 

Hepner's 1:07.76 in the 100 breast out-raced the field by more than one second. Her teammate, Leah Eckert finished second in a PSAC-qualifying time of 1:08.86. Those were two of Millersville's 12 PSAC cut times in the dual.

All three of Plempel's individual swims were under the PSAC standards. 

Hepner, Eckert and Mackenzie Yosko were also part of the 200 medley relay. Yosko took first in the 200-yard butterfly with a PSAC cut time of 2:18.04. She also finished runner-up to teammate Claire Weaver in the 200-yard backstroke (2:16.07). Weaver's 2:13.70 was a PSAC cut time and won by nearly three seconds.

REACTION FROM COACH EVAN ANTHONY
"I am so proud of our team and how they competed today. Every race they gave it their all and there were lots of great times for this point in the year. We talked about bringing the energy and racing hard going into the meet which they did a great job of. Despite coming up just short, this will fuel us as we continue throughout the season.
