PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke swimming team captured seven individual events on the evening, and capped off a successful Homecoming Tri-Meet with an impressive win in the 400-yard Freestyle Relay as well, to fuel victories over both nationally-ranked Emory and Conference Carolinas rival Barton on Saturday in the UNCP Aquatics Center.
 
The Braves (3-2) edged out Emory by a lone point, 131-130, but walked away with a 130-point victory, 191-61, over the Bulldogs. The Eagles, a perennial NCAA Division III contender, came into the weekend ranked No. 3 in the latest SwimCloud.com Dual rankings.
 
Junior Mariel Mencia Martinez captured impressive wins in the 50- and 100-yard Freestyle events, while capping her afternoon by besting the rest of the field in 100-yard Butterfly by nearly a second. Newcomer Chloe Imsand and junior Ketlyn Rodriguez Matos gave the Braves a sweep in the 100- and 200-yard Breaststroke, respectively, while Mary Jensen captured top honors in the 100-yard Backstroke, while fellow freshman Chiara Ambrosi was first in the 200-yard Individual Medley.
 
Senior Nathalia Silva teamed up with Imsand, Roriguez Matos and Mencia Martinez to post a dominating 5-second win in the 400-Yard Freestyle Relay that capped the meet.
 
The Braves will get a nearly three-week hiatus from competition before resuming their 2022-23 schedule, Nov. 18-19, at the William Peace Invitational in Cary.
