FAIRFAX, VA -- The University of Delaware opened up the 2004 Colonial Athletic Association swimming and diving championships by capturing the women's 800 freestyle relay Wednesday night at George Mason's Aquatic and Fitness Center.

The CAA title was the fourth in Peffer's two-year career at Delaware. Peffer's 200 meter split of 1:51.83 in the 800 freestyle relay also set a new school record, breaking the mark of 1:52.94 set by Nancy Davis in 1994-95.

The Delaware women are in ninth place after the first day of action with 45 points. Host George Mason holds the women's team lead with 124 points followed by William & Mary, Davidson, Drexel, UNC Wilmington, Old Dominion, James Madison, College of Charleston, Delaware, and Towson.
