Bulldogs sweep relays at Day 1 of NECs

East Meadow, N.Y. – The Bryant University women's swimming and diving team are in first place after day one of the NEC Championships with a score of 80 points.

Coach Keane's Comments

"It was such a huge night for the ladies. Winning both of the relays tonight sets the tone for tomorrow and the rest of the week. To end the night, Alyssa's lead off on the 800 free relay put us out there and they never looked back. Ready to go for tomorrow morning!"

Notes and Notables:

• The Bulldogs started off the meet in great fashion winning the 200 medley relay for the third year in a row. The team of Alaina Scifo (Ipswich, Great Britain), Kayleigh Canavan (Cumberland, R.I.), Elin Svärd (Falun, Sweden), and Reetta Kanervo (Oulu, Finland) won with a time of 1:41.56.
• The Black and Gold followed that up with another gold medal in the 800 freestyle relay. Alyssa DiFiore (Wethersfield, Conn.), Alyvia Beaudion (Cypress, Texas), Erin Doruska (Ankeny, Iowa), and Scifo teamed up to finish with a time of 7:24.59.
