Dreiss Breaks 1000 Free School Record; Women's Swimming Upends Hunter 53-42

Results
Garden City, N.Y. - A new school record set by junior Danielle Dreiss highlighted a 53-42 victory for the Adelphi University women's swimming team against Hunter College earlier this evening inside Woodruff Hall.

It was just the second event of the night where Dreiss rewrote her own school record in the 1,000-yard freestyle, set nearly a year ago against Staten Island. Tonight, the junior beat out her previous record by four seconds at 10:58.75 to win first place. Dreiss also claimed first place in the 500 distance behind a finish of 5:28.43. In the final event of the evening, Dreiss was the third leg of 200 free relay along with Kelly Whelan, Jacqueline Vani, and Heather Miller that claimed victory with a 1:47.95 clocking.

Whelan and Grace Zhang matched Dreiss with two solo victories of their own on the night. The first for Whelan came during a 2:07.13 time in the 200 free followed by a 100 free victory of 57.80. Meanwhile, Zhang touched the wall in 25.75 in the 50 free in addition to winning the 100 back in 1:03.37.

Visiting Hunter posted three individuals victories as well as the opening win in the 200 medley relay, however, the Brown and Gold were able to secure enough points for the slight 11-point win.

The Panthers return to action this Saturday, hosting Saint Rose at 1:00 pm as the program celebrates its "Senior Day" prior to the start of the meet.
