DENTON, Texas — North Texas Swim and Dive earned a 179-118 win over New Mexico State Saturday. Junior Saylor Hawkins continued her dominant season with a personal best on the 3 Meter board.
In the pool, senior Brooke Beddingfield shined on Senior Day with wins in the 100 Breaststroke (1:05.27) and 200 Breast (2:23.17). Sophomore Diana Kolb (100 Backstroke — 53.39; 200 Backstroke — 2:06.95) and freshman Lexie Green (1000 Freestyle — 10:39.83; 200 Butterfly — 2:06.95) each also earned two wins against the Aggies.
From the board, Hawkins posted a personal best 301.58 off of the 3 Meter, a mere 2.87 points shy of the North Texas record. She also won the 1 Meter with a score of 279.53. Head coach Brittany Roth said "it's always fun when we can get a win for our seniors on Senior Day."
"This group of seniors has really pushed and persevered throughout their career here, and it was awesome to see the team pull together for their last home competition," Roth said. "I'm really proud of our seniors, of our team, and the attitude, effort and energy they bring to one another and to our competition opportunities."
UNT will return to the pool at 10 a.m. Saturday for the Alumni Meet in Denton. Follow @MeanGreenSwim on Twitter and @MeanGreenSwimDive on Instagram for updates throughout the meet and keep an eye on the team throughout the season at MeanGreenSports.com.
