GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Cleveland State women's swimming and diving team traveled to Green Bay on Oct. 25 for a dual meet against the Phoenix. The Vikings picked up two wins and another all-time Top-10 finish on the day, but lost the meet 158-72.

"The women did their best to swim fast after a long bus trip and I was very proud of their effort, their focus and their will to win," head coach Wally Morton said. "There are a lot of reasons to feel good about their efforts and their performances."

Carys Behn picked up both of the Vikings' wins on the day in the 100 freestyle (53.79) and 200 freestyle (1:55.12) events. It was the first time this season that she swam the 100 freestyle for CSU.

Behn also swam the seventh-fastest 100 freestyle time in school history (53.52) in the leadoff leg of the 400 freestyle relay and is now listed among CSU's all-time Top-10 in four different events.

Runner-up finishes went to Emily Splain in the 50 freestyle (25.92), Katie Bellew in the 200 butterfly (2:14.39), Whitney Hickey in the 200 backstroke (2:14.19) and Frances Carrion in the 500 freestyle (5:27.46).

In the first diving events of her career, Kacey Cummings took second in both the 1-meter (220.12) and 3-meter events (224.48).

"We are very pleased with Kacey's performance in the dives," Morton said. "She's making terrific strides in her diving as she progresses."

The Vikings return to action on Friday, Oct. 31 when they host Butler and Canisius. The meet begins at 5 p.m. in the Robert F. Busbey Natatorium.
