South Orange, N.J. - The Seton Hall women's swimming & diving team narrowly fell to Drexel on Saturday, 160-139. As a unit the Pirates won seven individual events with three swimmers winning multiple events at Arthur E. Imperatore Natatorium.

Sophomore Heidi Dickson (Greenwich, N.J.) had a great showing winning both the 200 free and the 500 free. Dickson recorded a time of 1:54.88 in the 200 free while pacing the pool with a time of 5:09.08.

Joining Dickson as a multiple winner was freshman Sierra Cripps. Cripps captured first in the 200 fly with a time of 2:05.77 and yielded the same result in the 100 fly coming in at 57.62.

Other winners included freshman Madeline Bachand who got things started for the Pirates coming in first in the 1000 free with a time of 10:31.05 and Taylor Jackson (Thornton, Colo.) who cleaned up took first in both diving events. Jackson took home scores of 239.77 in the 3 meter dive and 269.55 in the 1 meter dive.

Down late, the Pirates rallied to go 1-2-3 in the 500 freestyle to put themselves back in contention. Led by Dickson, Bachand and Jill Calocino (Maywood, N.J.) took second and third respectively, for the Pirates' clean sweep.

The meet was the Pirates last home event of the fall before they compete in the Patriot Invitational from Nov. 21-23 in Fairfax, Va.
