Huskies End 2nd vs. Army, Marist and CCSU

West Point, New York – The UConn ladies’s swimming and diving staff completed second to open the season vs. Army, Marist and Central Connecticut State University. The Huskies completed with a ultimate rating of 787 factors solely trailing Army who completed with 1,018 factors.

In the primary meet of the season, the Huskies had robust swims throughout the board, led by Jessica Sheng and Sydney Perkins. The Huskies began the meet robust, inserting prime three within the 400 Medley Relay and the 400 Freestyle relay adopted by a second place end by Rhian Russel within the 50 yard Backstroke.

“Tonight was a great way to start our dual meet season,” stated head coach Chris Maiello. “With the unique format it allowed us to rediscover our racing skills in a fun and competitive environment. Our expectations were to practice our process, execute our racing details and learn where we can get better. I think we did a good job of that tonight. Swimming against competition that uses tech suits this early in the season is challenging, but our team handled it well and raced hard tonight. It was cool to get a couple event wins as well, with Jessica in the knock-out 50 free against suited competitors was special, she’s off to a great start this season. Similarly, Sydney picked up a nice win in the 150 Breaststroke, her time in that event compares well to previous seasons. Overall, a good start to the competition year.”

UConn will now flip their consideration to twin meets because the Huskies will welcome BIG EAST rival Villanova to Storrs on October 18.
