How It Happened
Franciscan Women's Swimming & Diving competed at Westminster for the first time in program history on Saturday. They took on the Titans and Mount Union, a very talented team from the Ohio Athletic Conference  (OAC). 

In the opening event, Haley Fifield, Mary Therese Frank, Gabrielle Lewis, and Kate Kinst placed sixth in a highly competitive 200 medley relay.

Haley Fifield improved her time in the 100 backstroke, as she placed third with a time of 1:08.04. She was just three tenths of a second off first place. Kate Kinst swam a couple of new events for the season. She placed 5th in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:10.84. Then, she placed fourth in the 200 IM with a time of 2:32.04.

Janine Agapay, Rachel Comstock, Rachel Pergi, and Avery Schmitz concluded the meet with a time of 4:45.86 in the 400 freestyle relay.
