ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University swimming and diving team fell to Oakland University, 182-118, at the Oakland Aquatic Center, Feb. 5. The meet marked the end of Eastern's non-conference schedule for the 2020-21 season.
Diving highlighted the evening for EMU, led by reigning Mid-American Conference Diver of the Week, senior Bethany Berger (Batavia, Ohio-Glen Este), and sophomore Keira Veltigian (Oxford, Mich.-Oxford). Berger won both the 1-meter and 3-meter events, recording scores of 288.75 and a season-best 302.93, respectively. Veltigian had a career-day on the springboard, posting career-best marks in 1-meter (286.65) and 3-meter (283.35), both of which are also NCAA Zone C qualifying marks for the sophomore.
Freshman Camryn Hughes (London, Ontario-Sir Frederick Banting Secondary) also notched her first-career NCAA Zone C cut, scoring 269.40 in 1-meter, while senior Micaela Schempf (Bowling Green, Ohio-Bowling Green) had a season-best showing of 280.27 in the event.
Eastern added two wins on the swimming side, beginning with senior Riley Hofmann's (Ada, Mich.-Forest Hills Central) first-place finish in the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:06.35. Classmate Ali Staver (Bettendorf, Iowa-Pleasant Valley) recorded a season-best swim of 57.16 to take the top spot in the 100 butterfly.
The meet also saw six Eagles notch season-best times. Senior Avrie Stewart (Menominee, Mich.-Menominee) (2:05.46) and Staver (2:06.76) set new season standards in the 200 backstroke, while senior Kaitlynd Scanlan (Waukesha, Wis.-Pewaukee) finished the 500 free in 5:13.74 to mark a season-best. Senior Abby Rapien (Cincinnati, Ohio-Taylor) swam 1:56.10 in the 200 free, followed by classmates Hofmann and Carlee Jones (Edgewood, Ky.-Notre Dame Academy) finishing the 200 IM in 2:08.15 and 2:12.72, respectively, to round out the season-best showings for EMU.
Eastern's diving squad returns to the pool Thursday, Feb. 18, at the University at Buffalo Diving Invite, while swimming will return to action Feb. 26 at the EMU Last Chance Meet at Jones Natatorium. Start times for those meets will be released as the events near.
