VALPARAISO, Ind. - The Cleveland State women's swimming and diving team won every event in its first road meet of the season, defeating Horizon League opponent 126-73 on Friday afternoon (Oct. 22).

"Overall our swims were very solid," head coach Wally Morton said. "Given that we were swimming in a difficult pool to compete in and that we were on the road, I thought we did very well today."

Joanna Olsson turned in one of the best times for the Vikings, winning the 100 fly in 59.21, the seventh-best time in that event in Cleveland State history.

Alice Sommerville also had a good day, winning the 200 IM in 2:09.93.

"Our preparation was good and our warm-ups were good," Morton said. "All around we did a great job. We played around with who competed in certain events to see what we had, and I am very pleased with the versatility shown by our athletes today."

The Vikings (5-0, 2-0 HL) will compete again tomorrow (Oct. 23), traveling to Green Bay for another Horizon League contest. That meet is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

"We have to get ready for Green Bay now, a team for whom we have tremendous respect," Morton said. "Green Bay's women have won the conference the past five years, and this will be a good challenge for our team."
