From University of Rochester Athletics
Senior Lauren Bailey won the 100- and 200-yard butterfly
events to highlight Rochester's performance in day two of the
season-opening four-team meet at the Speegle-Wilbraham Aquatic
Complex. She also swam the anchor leg on the winning 400 freestyle
relay which closed the meet (3:36.87).
The meet involves University Athletic Association rivals New
York University and Brandeis University, plus Canisius College of
Buffalo, an NCAA Division I program.
It was scored as a quadruple dual – Rochester vs. each
of the three and those three versus each other (UR vs NYU, Brandeis
vs. Canisius, NYU vs. Brandeis, etc.). The events themselves are
simply scored in the total order of finish, but that does not
reflect the placement in the head-to-head matchups.
These are the final team results:
Canisius 289, Brandeis 56
NYU 311, Brandeis 49
Rochester 301, Brandeis 59
NYU 255, Canisius 113
Rochester 190, Canisius 178
NYU 246.50, Rochester 123.50
Bailey won the 200 fly by more than five seconds. She was
