FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Northern Colorado swim and dive fought back after an early deficit against Colorado State, but it wasn't enough as the Rams edged the Bears 158-142 on Friday night. The two teams split first and second place in all 16 events, while the Rams took third in nine of the 16 events to just beat out UNC in the meet.

CSU jumped out to the early lead against the Bears by taking four of the first five events, making UNC play catch up for most of the meet.
Rose Saya and Maddy Moore each had impressive nights in the pool, both taking two individual events and being on the winning 400 free relay team at the end of the meet.

Saya won the 200 and 500 free, while Moore won the 50 and 100 free. Saya touched the wall in the 200 free at 1:54.30 and took the 500 free with a time of 5:03.84. In the short length freestyle races, Moore won with times of 23.78 and 52.21 in the 50 and 100, respectively. Moore started off the 400 relay team while Saya was third in the order as they won it in 3:29.44.

Joining Moore and Saya on the 400 relay team were Morgan King and Emily Hamel.

One other Bear won multiple events in the meet and it came from the diving board in Celeste Llona. She took the 1 meter with a score of 269.33 and the 3 meter by posting a 276.90.

Anna Austin was the team's lone other event winner, taking the 1000 free in a time of 10:34.92.

What's ahead
Northern Colorado will now take the remainder of the month to train and prepare for the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Championships over February 27-March 2 in Houston, Texas.
