NCAA Div. I Women: ASU Defeats Missouri, Wyoming

TEMPE, Ariz., January 4. THE 18th-ranked Arizona State women's swimming and diving team recorded comfortable victories over 21st-ranked Missouri (195-92), and Wyoming (232-68) this afternoon at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center.

Missouri walloped Wyoming 212-82.

ASU welcomed the arrival of Swedish National Team member Sandra Steffensen, who joined the team during the semester break and recorded two first place finishes in her first competition as a Sun Devil.

Steffensen touched the wall first in both the 200 free (1:52.26) and the 500 free (5:01.36), while finishing third in the 100 free (52.92). Steffensen, a freshman, is one of the best short course meters freestyle swimmers in the world, and is coming off of a year that saw her finish fourth in the 400m free at the Swedish Senior Nationals. In 2000, she finished third in the 400m free and second 800m free at the Swedish Senior Nationals.

Fellow countrywoman Claire Hedenskog also grabbed two first place finishes for ASU on the afternoon. She recorded a 23.48 in the 50 free and a 51.05 in the 100 free. She was also a part of the winning relay teams in the 400 medley (3:50.48) and the 400 free (3:29.71). The other multiple winners for ASU were Petra Banovic and Ágnes Kovács.

Banovic clocked first place finishes in the 200 fly (2:05.09) and the 100 fly (57.01), while Kovács touched first in the 100 breast (1:03.43), the 200 breast (2:15.71) and the 200 IM (2:05.40). Kovács beat her nearest competitor in the 100 breast by over two-and-a-half seconds, and her closest rival in the 200 breast by almost eight seconds. Her season best time in the 100 (59.92) is second in the country, while her best 200 time during this campaign (2:09.90) is the fastest in the nation.

The other first-place finish for the ASU swimmers was Kathryn Hennessy, who registered a 10:23.07 in the 1000 free.

Missouri's Sarah Lo was the only non-Sun Sundevil able to break the hosts' dominance, as the Tiger junior swept both backstrokes. Lo clocked 58.01 for the 100 and 2:06.04 for the 200.

In the diving pool, Jessica Stenson notched two first-place finishes for Arizona State, winning the 1-meter with 239.48 points, and capturing the 3-meter with a score of 247.05. Nicole Zukowski grabbed second-place for the Sun Devils in the 3-meter with a score of 236.63.

The Sun Devil women will next be in action the weekend of January 17-18 at the Dallas Morning News Invitational. The divers will compete at the Speedo American Cup beginning next Tuesday through Sunday, the 7th-12th.
