Mustangs Win 11 Events In Victory Over TCU
FORT WORTH, Texas (SMU) – The SMU women's swimming and diving team picked up 11 event wins in a 180.5-119.5 victory over Metroplex rival TCU on Friday afternoon at the Campus Recreation Center. The win improved the Mustangs' dual record to 1-1 this season.
A pair of newcomers to the Hilltop in senior Felicia Anderson and freshman Janelle Gursoy both won a pair of individual events to help lead SMU to victory. Anderson swept backstroke events, pacing the field in the 100 (55.93) and the 200 (2:00.92), while Gursoy won the 100 free (52.53) and 200 free (1:52.84).
In butterfly action, Valentina Becerra and Olivia Grossklaus teamed up to give the advantage to the Mustangs, with Becerra debuting this week with a win in the 100 fly (56.34) and Grossklaus continuing her dominance of the 200 (2:04.03).
Erin Trahan (50 free, 23.87) and Gabi Grobler (200 IM, 2:03.79) rounded out individual winners for the Ponies, continuing to score maximum points toward the team total.
The Mustangs also swept relays at the event, as Anderson, Grobler, Trahan and Sam Smith opened the evening with a win in the 200-yard medley relay. The evening closed with a victory for Smith, Gursoy, Alex Stevens and Trahan in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
In diving action, freshman Nicole Stambo earned her second career-win on 1 meter, doing so with a season-best, NCAA qualifying standard 288.30.
SMU is back in action Saturday, Nov. 2 when LSU and North Texas visit the Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center. Action is slated to begin at 1 p.m. Live video and swimming results are available at SMUMustangs.com with diving results available on DiveMeets.com.
