BGSU’s swim and dive traveled two hours east to battle Akron in a dual meet at the Ocasek Natatorium on Friday.
The Zips came out on top, with a score of 195-105 over the Falcons; however, BGSU came in first place in five separate events.

Freshman Claire Werner also finished in the top five, scoring a 244.35.
That impressive start also led to BG coming in first place in the 50-yard freestyle event.
Freshman Samia Becdach finished first with a time of 23.60 seconds. Becdach also had the fastest time in the 100-yard freestyle.
Freshman Annie Berrow capped off the top five, contributing with her time of 24.33 seconds.
Mayorga also came in first place for the one-meter dive, scoring 282.05. This was her second first-place finish of the night and her second personal best.
Senior Elise Snyder finished fourth in the event, earning a 255.35.
The Falcons also had the fastest time in the 200-yard breaststroke. Graduate student Ava Vial won the event with a final time of 2:19.62.
