NEWARK, DE (February 12, 2005) -- Sara Stephens won four events and Meredith Law captured three first place finishes but it wasn't enough as the University of Delaware women's swimming and diving squad fell to Yale 175-123 in the final dual meet of the season Saturday at Rawstrom Natatorium.

In the men's race, Yale captured every first place finish on the way to a 213-77 win over the Blue Hen men. The Yale men improved to 7-5 while the women upped their dual meet mark to 9-3. The Delaware women, who have now posted 10 winning seasons in the last 11 years, finished at 6-4 while the UD men dropped to 1-9. The meet marked the first time in school history that the Blue Hens have faced Yale in swimming.

Both Delaware men's and women's teams will next compete at the Colonial Athletic Association championships Feb. 23-26 at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA.

Stephens won the 200 butterfly (2:07.68), 100 butterfly (57.39), and 200 individual medley (2:10.99) and teamed with Sara Reed, Kendall Warren, and Law to win the 400 freestyle relay in 3:46.65. Law also captured the 500 freestyle (5:06.90) and 1,000 freestyle (10:30.72), and placed third in the 50 freestyle (25.49).

Although the Delaware men did not win any races, the Blue Hens did post six second place finishes. David Hardie was second in the 200 individual medley (2:05.95), Adam Blomberg was second in the 100 butterfly (54.20), Kyle Gurkovich was second in the 500 freestyle (4:59.70), Matt Kates was second in the 200 breaststroke (2:24.78), Andrew Zinn was second in the 50 freestyle (22.02), and Blomberg and Zinn teamed with Michael Rasch and Max Evers for a second place showing in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:17.59.

Also for the UD women, Sarah Bergan was second in the one-meter dive (231.15), Ellen Heinz was second in the 200 freestyle (1:57.24) and 100 breaststroke (1:10.90) and third in the 100 freestyle (55.11) and 200 medley relay (1:55.23), and Reed also posted a third place finish in both the 200 backstroke (2:11.17) and 500 freestyle (5:18.46).

For the Yale women, Moira McCracken won the 200 medley relay, 100 freestyle, and 200 freestyle, Holly Mazar won the 100 and 200 breaststroke events, and Melanie Loftus won both diving events.
