Gillian Manning broke a 10-month-old school record in the 200 Yard Freestyle, while also leading a 1-2-3-4-5 finish in the 500 Yard Freestyle, but the UNC Pembroke swimming team fell to six-time defending national champion Queens, 120-73, on Thursday afternoon inside the Levine Center.
Manning, who joined the Black & Gold at the semester break, was one of two UNCP swimmers to capture individual event titles on the afternoon. Sophomore
Sarah Morden led all competitors in the 100-yard Breaststroke with a time of 1:08.95 to notch her fourth career individual event title.
The Braves will continue their 2020-21 slate on January 15 when they head up U.S. 74 to battle Catawba, as well as No. 13 Lenoir-Rhyne and No. 3 Wingate, in the Wingate Natatorium. The Wingate Quad Meet is scheduled to get underway at 5 p.m.
