PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke swim team won 14 events and had a pair of NCAA B Standard times to highlight the action of the quad meet on Saturday afternoon at the Sue Walsh Swimming Pool.
UNCP defeated Chowan 207-40, knocked off Barton 207-41, and closed out the action beating Converse 207-67.
The Black & Gold established six new Sue Walsh Swimming Pool facility records during Saturday's meet.
Benedetta Pepe Pugliese established the school record in the 400-yard Freestyle with a time of 4:30.44, while newcomer Kennice Greene broke an eight-year old school record in the 50-yard Backstroke with a time of 27.40.
Kaeleigh Cupples broke a five-year school record in the 50-yard Breaststroke, while
Fatima Portillo shattered a five-year old school record in the 50-yard Butterfly.
The Braves will take a break from the action and return to the pool in the new year when they travel to Buies Creek to face Campbell on Jan. 17. The meet is set to begin at 11 a.m. inside the Johnson Aquatic Center.
