NEW ORLEANS, LA, January 30. RICE senior Lauren Hill won three events while the tandem of Urska Ros and Brittany Massengale posted a pair of wins to pace the Rice swim team to a 142-138 dual meet win over Tulane Saturday afternoon in New Orleans, La, per Rice reports.<\/p>\n
The Owls won 10 of the meet's 14 swim events, but had to hang on for a narrow victory over their future Conference USA opponent. After a split of a double-dual Friday in Baton Rouge, Rice concluded its weekend road swing through Louisiana winning two of three meets.<\/p>\n
Hill won the 200-yard individual medley and swept both the 100- and 200-breaststroke. The standout from Bellevue, Wash., also swam the breaststroke leg of the Owls' winning 200-medley relay.<\/p>\n
Ros picked up where she left off the day before, winning the 100-butterfly and 200-freestyle. She also swam the lead leg of Rice's 200-free relay that recorded a season-best time of 1:36.58.<\/p>\n
Distance specialist Brittany Massengale led a 1-2 Owl finish with Adi Bichman in the mile (17:03.06). Massengale then came back later in the meet to win the 500-free (5:00.99).<\/p>\n
Senior Jane Keith picked up some critical first place points by winning the 100-backstroke (58.63). Junior sprinter Laura Healey won the 50-free (24.30) and was the anchor on both relays. <\/p>\n
The Owls are now 4-5 in dual meets this season. Rice will again be back on the road next week with dual meets at SMU (Feb. 4) and TCU (Feb. 5).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
