Niebel Shines at Tri-Meet with Campbell and Georgia Tech

WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNCW senior Tink Niebel won both the 200 Free and 200 IM to lead the UCW women to a tri-meet split with Georgia Tech and Campbell in swimming and diving action on Saturday at the Allen Natatorium. On the men's side, the Seahawks fell to Georgia Tech.

The Seahawk women improved to 3-2 overall with the split, rolling past Campbell, 235-58, but coming up short against the Yellow Jackets, 185-115. UNCW dipped to 1-3 with a 175-125 setback.

Niebel continued her early season success with strong swims in both 200 events she competed in. She clocked in with a winning time of 1:50.82 in the 200 Free and later recorded a victory with a mark of 2:05.29 in the 200 IM, which was also a career-best.

Joining Niebel, who also finished third in the 100 Free, with event wins were junior Brooke Knisely in the 500 Free and Sarah Olson, a senior, in the 50 Free. Knisley fashioned a time of 4:58.90 while Olson went 23.38.

The Seahawk men earned gold in four events with Henderson Louviere (200 Fly), Jacob Duracinsky (100 Free), Sam O'Brien (200 Back) and Dave Fitch (100 Fly) posting wins.
O'Brien, who also won the 200 Back last weekend against William & Mary, posted a season-best time of 1:48.34.

UNCW closed out the meet with wins on both sides of the meet in the 200 Free Relay. The men's relay of E'likai Crompton-English, Duracinsky, Wes Carter and Noah Sipowski recorded a season-best time of 1:22.04. The women's relay of Olson, Cameron Snowden, Maura Schoppa and Bethany Tart also had a season-best at 1:35.13.

Ethan Badrian and Courtney Klausen posted second-place finishes on the 1-meter board with 255.3 and 236.03 points, respectively. On the 3-meter, Tatum Church took fourth for UNCW with 225.9 points and Badrian added a third-place finish on the men's side with 275.7 points.  Church also took third on the 1-meter (221.25). Nic Newis was third on the men's 1-meter with 247.28 points.

The women halted a modest two-meet losing skid to the Camels, who join the Colonial Athletic Association for the 2023-24 academic year, and improved to 12-3 all-time in the series.

The Seahawks next host North Carolina on Oct. 21 at 4 p.m.
