WASHINGTON D.C. – The Drexel men's and women's swimming and diving teams won at George Washington on Saturday. The men controlled the meet from start to finish en route to a 162-123 win. The women battled all day and secured the win, 154.5-145.5, after Aubrey Murray came from behind in the 400-yard freestyle relay to tie for first.

"It was a true team effort to leave George Washington with two wins", said Adam Braun. "[I am] very happy with how both teams competed until the end."

The Dragons swept all four diving competitions with Simon Carne and Madison Kramer each winning in the one and three-meter. Kramer posted her best score of the season in one-meter with a 284.25. Carne did the same with a 261.75. In the three-meter both the men and women swept the podium. The Dragons also swept the men's and women's 500-yard and 1,000-yard freestyles. Miranda Rouse got the wins on the women's side and Ted Taylor on the men's.

Taylor was a member of the 200-yard medley relay team that won. Chad Schmidt, Kyle Lukens and Mike Shaeffer swam the other three legs to help the Dragons get the win by over 1.5 seconds. Schmidt and Lukens won as individuals as well, with Schmidt taking home the 100-yard breaststroke and Lukens winning both the 100 and 200-yard butterflies.

Katie Duggan recorded her first individual win of the season with her win in the 100-yard backstroke. The senior finished 0.6 of a second ahead of second place. Duggan was also a member of the 400-yard freestyle relay that tied for first along with Murray, Claudia Duguay and Sara Golshahr.

Murray added wins as an individual in the 100 and 200-yard freestyles. The sophomore won the 200-yard freestyle by less than 0.2 seconds. Rachel Bernhardt also had three victories for the Dragons. The Vineland, New Jersey native captured the 50-yard freestyle and 200-yard breaststroke on the afternoon. The wins are her sixth and seventh of the season.

Joel Berryman won the 100-yard backstroke with a 51.58, which is his second fastest time of the season. The junior then won the 50-yard freestyle. Gillian Gress picked up her third straight win in the 200-yard backstroke. The Highlands Ranch, Colorado native was clear of the field by over three seconds.

Next up for the Dragons is the home opener versus Binghamton on Saturday, November 8 at 1 p.m. It will also be Parent's Day at the Daskalakis Athletic Center.
