NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee women's swimming team won nine events to defeat Vanderbilt 148-113 on Friday at Centennial Sportsplex.
Tennessee (3-2, 2-0 SEC) won both relays and picked up seven seven individual wins by seven different Vols.
Freshmen accounted for four of the victories: Tess Cieplucha in the 200-yard freestyle (1:51.42), Emily Allen in the 50 freestyle (23.78), Erika Brown in the 100 freestyle (50.91) and Meghan Small in the 100 IM (56.53). It was the first career college victories for Allen and Brown.
Sophomore Brianna Leverenz scored her first career win in the 500 freestyle (5:00.87), just out-touching Vanderbilt's Saleh Peacock at the wall by .01. Senior Heather Lundstrom won the 200 butterfly in 2:01.73, and sophomore Meg Wiggins took first in the 100 breaststroke in 1:03.47.
The meet was swimming only because Vanderbilt does not have a diving program.
The full Tennessee swimming and diving squad is in action Nov. 11 with a home meet against Auburn at 1 p.m. Eastern.
