Big day for Boese, Moriarty and Murphy leads Marauders over Cobbers

MOORHEAD, MN – Capturing nine of 12 events, the University of Mary sank Concordia College 137-75 in a non-conference swimming. Alyssa Boese, Elizabeth Moriarty and Kate Murphy all posted a pair of individual wins for the Marauders before combining forces to capture the final relay of the day.
 
"Overall we had a great meet today," said head coach Allan McCallum. "I am very happy where we are at right now. The team is really training well and we continue to improve each meet. We mixed up our lineup and swam some different events than we normally do, and it was very encouraging seeing how well everyone swam in the different events."
 
Murphy won the 1650 yard freestyle in the opening individual event of the day, posting a time of 18:44.67 to win the grueling event ahead of teammate Rachel Riedel. Her time is currently the 6th-best mark in the Northern Sun. The freshman from Jefferson City, MT, later returned to take the 100 yard freestyle in 57.53.
 
Moriarty came out on top of the 200 yard freestyle after clocking in at 2:04.41. The Brookings, SD, native then swam a time of 1:02.34 to win the 100 yard butterfly.
