MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women's swimming and diving teams defeated Iowa State and Northern Iowa on Saturday afternoon, at Beyer Pool in Ames, Iowa.
The Mountaineers were victorious over the Cyclones, earning a score of 157-142 for their first Big 12 Conference victory of the season. WVU defeated the Panthers, 209-90.
"Hard-fought win for the ladies. I'm extremely proud of how they battled and competed today," coach Vic Riggs said. "Having Marian win the 1-meter and then getting third and fifth place as well, put the team in the position to win the meet by winning the 400 free relay, which the ladies did. Overall, it was a great team effort with 11 event wins."
In the diving well, senior Marian Tiemeier finished strong to earn first place in the 1-meter with a score of 271.25.
West Virginia tallied its first win of the day in the 200-yard medley relay.
