BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, October 30. THE LSU women's swimming and diving team claimed 13 of 16 events against Tulane Friday en route to its first victory of the season, 175-117, in the LSU Natatorium.<\/p>\n
The Lady Tigers (1-2, 0-2 SEC) received two wins apiece from four athletes as Rebecca St. Germain, Jane Trepp, Kannon Betzen and Mary Beck all emerged victorious twice in individual competition. The Green Wave fell to 0-3 with the loss.<\/p>\n
"I thought we had a solid meet, especially considering most of our swimmers swam their off events," LSU assistant coach Jessica Botzum said. "Our captains, Jane Trepp and Kannon Betzen swam well today, and I thought we had some nice efforts from a number of our freshmen." <\/p>\n
St. Germain continues to impress in her first collegiate season as the freshman diver recorded career highs and school all-time top-10 marks in both the one-meter and three-meter springboard events. The San Antonio, Texas, native's winning score of 310.95 in the one-meter is the fifth-best in program history, and her mark of 313.43 in the three-meter moved her into eighth all-time at LSU.<\/p>\n
Trepp swam to victory in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.36 seconds and captured first-place in the 200 breaststroke (2:25.23). Betzen registered victories in both the 100 and 200 free with times of 51.10 and 1:52.90, respectively, while Beck finished on top in both the 100 breast (1:06.03) and 100 butterfly (57.08).<\/p>\n
In addition, junior Brooke Barnett, sophomore Samantha Goates and freshmen Sally Wood and Audrey Lawson recorded wins. Barnett won the 1000 free with a season best of 10:19.30, and Goates took first in the 100 backstroke. Wood captured the victory in the 200 individual medley, while Lawson touched the wall first in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n
Freshman diver Elle Schmidt also had a solid effort, qualifying for the NCAA Zone Diving Regional. The Mansfield, Ohio, product tallied runner-up scores of 265.50 and 292.20 in the one-meter and three-meter, respectively. <\/p>\n
The Lady Tigers wrapped up the meet with a victory in the 400 free relay. The foursome of Beck, Trepp, Amanda Kendall and Betzen collected the win with a 3:27.85 clocking.<\/p>\n
The LSU men's and women's teams will hit the road for the first time this season when they travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to take on the Crimson Tide on Nov. 6 at 3 p.m. (CT). The teams will face Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla., on the following day, Nov. 7. <\/p>\n
