2007-08 Season Notes
UB Women’s Swimming Finish Fifth at MAC Championships
The UB women’s swimming and diving team finished the fourday
Mid-American Conference Championships with 341 points, giving
them a fifth place finish, as Ohio won the team title with 679.5 points
with Toledo (605.5) and Eastern Michigan (575) close behind. Andrea
Lehner, a transfer from Maryland, had a strong showing at the MAC
Championships, earning first place in the 100 backstroke, second in the
500 freestyle, and third in the 200 backstroke, all three of which were
new school records. Lehner was also a member of three record breaking
relays, along with Ashley Schaffert, Sam Eckert and Sam Palma in the
200 and 400 medley relay and Palma, Catherine Scharf and Jessie Koltz
in the 400 freestyle relay. The quartet of Koltz, Palma, Scharf and 2008
graduate Meghan Lafferty placed fourth at the MAC meet and finished
with a record breaking time of 1:34.52. Other top eight finishes at the
MAC meet include: Eckert (6th-100 butterfly), Jordan Deren (6th-1650
freestyle), Rachel Sorg (7th-100 backstroke) and Palma (7th-50 free). All
of this, combined with other outstanding performances from the rest of
the team, gave the women’s swimming and diving team their best place
at MAC Championships since the 2001-2002 season.
