Date: January 9, 2005

NEWARK, DE -- University of Delaware senior Sara Stephens captured three first place finishes and the Blue Hens won the 800 freestyle relay in the final event of the day to post a 123-120 Colonial Athletic Association women's swimming victory over James Madison University Sunday afternoon at Rawstrom Pool.

In the men's meet, four different Blue Hen swimmers won two events but Delaware dropped a 130.5-106.5 verdict to James Madison at Rawstrom Pool. The Delaware women improved to 5-3 (2-2 CAA) while the Blue Hen men dropped their seventh straight dual meet to fall to 1-7 (0-6). The James Madison women fell to 1-5 (0-4 CAA) while the Dukes men improved to 3-3 (2-2 CAA).

For the Delaware men, Brendan Spencer (Yorktown/Arlington, VA - at right) captured both the 200 individual medley (2:01.44) and 200 butterfly (2:00.76), Adam Blomberg (Kamiiakin/Kennewick, WA) won the 500 freestyle (4:50.89), swam a leg of the winning 800 freestyle relay (7:11.81), and was second in the 1,000 freestyle (10:16.87), Levan Beridze (Princeton, NJ/Tbilisi, Georgia) won the 800 freestyle relay and 100 freestyle (48.17), and Joe Virion (Concord/Wilmington, DE) won the 800 freestyle relay and the 200 freestyle (1:48.53) and placed second in the 500 freestyle (4:53.22).

Stephens, a senior from Wilmington, DE (St. Mark's HS), captured the 200 individual medley (2:10.60), the 200 butterfly (2:10.46), and the 200 breaststroke (2:24.91) to lead the Blue Hens. The Hens clinched the meet when the 800 freestyle relay team of Meredith Law (Nansemond-Suffolk/Chesapeake, VA), Sara Reed (West Chester, PA East/East Greenwich, CT), Kendall Warren (Downingtown/Downingtown, PA), and Ellen Heinz (Henderson/West Chester, PA) won easily in a time of 7:58.56, downing James Madison by over 13 seconds.

In addition to Stephens winning three events, also winning multiple events for the UD women were Law, who also captured the 500 freestyle (5:15.15) and 1,000 freestyle (10:41.80) and Reed also won the 200 backstroke (2:10.55). Delaware's other first place finish was put in by Sarah Bergan (Bethesda-Chevy Chase/Bethesda, MD) who won the three-meter diving event with a score of 211.28. Heinz also placed second in the 100 freestyle (54.40) and 200 freestyle (1:56.23).

The James Madison women were led by Allison Keel, who captured both the 200 freestyle and 100 freestyle. The Dukes men were led by Brian Freitag, who won the 1,000 freestyle and 200 breaststroke, Josh Fowler won the 200 backstroke and swam a leg of the winning 400 medley relay, and Kyle Knott won both the one-meter and three-meter diving events.

Delaware will take two weeks off and return to action Jan. 22 when they Loyola at Rawstrom Pool.
