Albanese Keys Win Over Campbell

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Senior Hannah Albanese won three events, including two in the final six events to lift UNCW past host Campbell, 136-126, on Friday at the Johnson Aquatic Center.

The win moved UNCW to 1-6 on the season while the Camels slipped to 8-7.

"It's always great to bring our women on the road for a meet with just them," said UNCW Head Coach Jason Memont. "The energy and attitudes are so different, and they really respond well. Today was our best day of racing all season and so many of them stepped up to help get the win."

Trailing 75-73 with six events to go, freshman Mary Grace Copeland won the 200 Backstroke for the Seahawks while sophomore Madison Holland and Caroline Knowles, a senior, finished second and fifth to give the Seahawks an 87-80 lead they wouldn't surrender.

Campbell made several pushes over the final events, but Albanese won the 200 Breaststroke and the 200 IM and Gracie Steelehammer captured the 500 Free to keep the Seahawks in front.

Evan Arsenault, a junior, won both free sprints and joined Copeland and Albanese on the winning 400 Medley Relay. Faith Pilcher rounded out that winning relay.

"Albanese and Arsenault really carried us with a lot of wins. It's been two weeks of intensive training and I'm excited to see it pay off again tomorrow when we celebrate the great careers of our senior class."

The Seahawks closeout their home schedule on Saturday, Jan. 11, at noon against visiting Davidson. UNCW will honor the 16 seniors, who will be competing at the Seahawk Natatorium for the final time. That ceremony begins at 11:45 a.m.
