BUIES CREEK – The 19^th-ranked UNC Pembroke swimming team walked away with eight event titles and got school-record performances from newcomers Gillian Manning and Paige Seplak, but the Braves dropped a close one at Campbell, 141-115, on Friday evening inside the Johnson Aquatic Center.
 
The setback snapped a recent run of success for the Black & Gold (4-3), but marked the second-straight series loss by 27 or less points. It was the second-straight win for the Camels (3-3-1) who posted a close win at UNC Wilmington on Saturday as well.
 
Manning registered her eighth school record of the season in an individual event, this time eclipsing her own week-old school record in the 100-yard Freestyle. Seplak, likewise, topped her own school record in the 200-yard Backstroke by nearly two seconds on the way to a fourth-place showing in the discipline.
 
Manning took top honors in three events including the 100- and 200-yard Freestyle, as well as the 200-yard Butterfly.
Sophomore Nathalia Silva captured event titles in both the 500- and 1,650-yard Freestyle events, while Mariel Mencia Martinez paced the field in the 50-yard Freestyle.
 
Freshman Caterina Coughlin captured an event title in the 200-yard Butterfly, and then teamed up with Manning, Mencia Martinez and Sarah Morden to cruise to the event title in the 200-yard Medley Relay.
 
The Braves will now take a three-week hiatus from competition before closing out the regular season portion of their 2020-21 schedule, Feb. 26-27, at the Queens-hosted Royal Open.
