Eagles win 15 of 17 individual events

FORT MYERS, Fla. - FGCU Swimming and Diving won 15 of 17 individual events and cruised past Keiser 253-70 in a dual meet Saturday at the FGCU Aquatics Complex. Jasmin Kroll and Izzy Ackley each won three events, and Nori Hetyei, Charlotte Driesse and Alexandra Andueza won two apiece.
 
"It was great to see how the team responded to their performances a week ago and the adjustments they needed to make for this week," said head coach Dave Rollins. "We are in a challenging training cycle and it was important for the team to get up and compete and see how they can do, even when they might not feel the best. We are excited with the results and looking forward to getting on the road in a couple weeks."
 
Kroll swept the freestyle events. She won the 50 in 22.92, the 100 in 50.78 and the 200 in 1:50.59. Sydney Ringwald placed third in all three races (24.71, 55.63, 2:02.84), and Audrey Sambrook was fourth in each.
 
Ackley did the same in the backstroke, taking the 50 (24.68), 100 (54.07) and 200 (2:01.05). The Eagles went 1-2-3 in both the 100 and 200 backstroke behind her. Abby Adams was second in the 100 (58.01) and third in the 200 (2:04.58). Berklee Bonner was third in the 100 (58.23) and second in the 200 (2:03.28), and she also took second in the 50 (26.87).
 
FGCU swept the top three spots in all three butterfly events. Hetyei won the 100 butterfly (56.48) and the 200 butterfly (2:04.90), and she finished two-hundredths of a second behind Emily McMahan in the 50 butterfly. McMahan won that race in 25.67 and added a second in the 100 (56.71) and a third in the 200 (2:12.74). Libby Freeman was runner-up in the 200 (2:10.15) and third in the 50 (26.33) and 100 (58.64).
 
The Eagles also went 1-2-3 in all three IM races. Driesse won the 100 IM in 58.80 and the 200 IM in 2:06.98. Olivia Bates took the 400 IM in 4:26.54, with Driesse second (4:31.04). Bates was also runner-up to Driesse in the 100 (1:00.29) and 200 (2:08.75). Ipek Aydiner finished third in all three IM events.
 
Aislyn Barnett led another FGCU sweep in the 200 breaststroke, winning in 2:15.72 ahead of Cassie Bauer (2:22.67) and Kata Joo (2:23.04). Bauer was second in the 50 breaststroke (29.29) and the 100 breaststroke (1:03.58), and Barnett was third in both (29.75, 1:03.84).
 
Andueza won both diving events, scoring 284.40 on the 1-meter and 252.15 on the 3-meter. Kaylin Olson was runner-up in both (234.45, 231.00).
