LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Army West Point women's swimming and diving team was defeated, 174-126, by Bucknell in a Patriot League dual on Saturday afternoon.

The Black Knights (2-4, 0-3 Patriot League) won four events opposite the Bison (7-1, 5-1 Patriot League) at Kinney Natatorium.

ARMY NOTABLES

The Cadets opened the league dual with a win in the 200 medley relay. The squad of Cecelia Croman, Kara Wineinger, Whitney Chang and Bailey Smith finished at 1:45.25.
In the 100 breast, it was Wineinger and Rebecca Morel placing first and second, respectively. Wineinger posted a time of 1:04.03 to win the event, before Morel followed at 1:07.59.
Wineinger returned to the water later in the meet and once again came out on top, but this time in the 200 breast. Her time of 2:20.10 bested the competition, while Morel took second at 2:25.82.
Smith topped the competition in the 50 free after she touched the wall at 24.29.

WENDER'S WORDS
"It's been a challenging stretch for our team after reporting to training camp on Dec. 29," head coach Mickey Wender said. "We challenged everyone in training at a new level and we've put in a lot of hard work that will pay off at the league meet in 28 days. Our women learned a lot and raced hard against inspired Lehigh and Bucknell teams. We were challenged in every event and our women fought for every inch. I am very confident in our ability to turn the tables when we return to Bucknell for the league championships."

UP NEXT
The Black Knights will be back in action next Saturday when they head to Fairfax, Va., for a quad meet at George Mason. The Cadets will face American and Old Dominion, on top of host George Mason.
