MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women's swimming and diving team was defeated by the Penn State Nittany Lions, 179-121, on Saturday at the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park in Morgantown.
"The ladies swam extremely well, and we improved from last weekend," head coach Vic Riggs said. "Our splitting was much better, and I felt we had some very strong performances. We now have two weeks to get ready for Cincinnati on the road."
Overall, West Virginia (0-1) won five events, including the 400-yard medley relay, the 1000-yard freestyle, the 100-yard breaststroke, the 50-yard freestyle and the 200-yard breaststroke.
