Women’s Swimming & Diving Picks Up Wins against Manchester, Hanover

The Anderson University women's swimming and diving team picked up two wins in Friday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) double dual at Bennett Natatorium.

Anderson (2-0, 2-0) cruised past Manchester University (0-2, 0-2) by a score of 153-37. The Ravens also secured a 128-64 victory against Hanover College (1-1, 1-1).

"Our seniors provided good competitive leadership," Coach Nathan Manley said. "Reid Haney won both his individual events and Noah Singleton and Morgan Ferguson won events and are already swimming in mid-season form. It's good for our new swimmers to see how they approach their business even when we're tired from training and midterms. It was a lot of fun to see a diver on the board again. We've had some really good divers in the past and I think Lindsey Pickering will be adding to that tradition by the end of the season. Last year Raven swimmers broke 16 school records over the season. Morgan and Noah both broke the 100 IM records tonight so hopefully we're on our way toward another year of raising the bar for our young program."
