Kings Point, N.Y. - With the help of two wins in the diving tank from Melany Arevalo, the Adelphi University women's swimming and diving program edged the United States Merchant Marine Academy 117-110, on Thursday, in dual-meet action. 

Arevalo picked up a pair of wins on the one-meter and three-meter boards, posting scores of 191.85 and 205.80, respectively. 

Highlights:

• The Panthers won six events - inclusive of Arevalo's performances - en route to the narrow, seven-point victory.
• The women opened the meet with a victory in the 200 yard medley relay, featuring Laura Moran, Aizel Pusing, Kelly Tula and Emily Munayirji in a time of 1:53.84 - this quartet recently set a new program record in the specialty at the ECAC Winter Championship, clocking in just under 1:50. 
• Munayirji was the first individual to take home a top swim, earning a win in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:03.21.
