GREELEY, Colo. – In the home opener, Northern Colorado defeated Idaho 199-101 at Butler-Hancock pool Saturday.

"Our girls stepped up and raced tough today," UNC head coachLisa Ebeling said. "It is always good to defend our home pool."

The Bears won 13 of the 16 events, claiming at least two podium spots in 10 races and the 1-meter springboard diving competition. They swept the top three spots in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard butterfly.

"I am proud of our divers, contributing big points and big scores," Ebeling said. "It is really exciting for Madison [Berg] to set her personal best, especially this early in the season."

UNC improved to 2-0 in duals and registered its third victory of the campaign.

Martina Yuki Trionfetti and Maria Erokhina won five races combined, with Erokina claiming three individual titles. Trionfetti registered a pair of victories and a runner-up spot in a solo competition.

The duo teamed with Payten Irwin and Ali Jackson in the 400-yard Medley Relay to win the opening race in a time of 3:52.16.

Trionfetti closed dual by swimming the opening leg of the 200-yard freestyle, joining Saana Liikonen, Lily Mayer, and Ali Jackson to win in a time of 1:36.31.
