CLEVELAND, OH (January 12, 2008)- Fresh from a trip back from Florida, the sun-burnt and tanned Case Western Reserve University women’s swimming and diving team was defeated by 13th ranked Carnegie Mellon University 120-85 in a University Athletic Associatoin [UAA] conference duel meet at the Veale Natatorium in Cleveland, OH.
The Spartans trailed 39-16 before freshman Marine Gu (Longwood, FL) went off in the 50-yard freestyle. The Florida native was victorious with a stunning time of 25.60 and placed second in the 100-yard butterfly event at 1:01.87.
