HOBOKEN, N.J. (January 31, 2009) – In its final home meet of the season, the No. 24 Stevens Institute of Technology women's swimming team rolled over Adelphi University, 120-69 at the De Baun Aquatic Complex in Hoboken, N.J. The Ducks won the first eight events en route to the easy win as six different Stevens swimmers notched first-place finishes. Prior to the meet, Stevens honored its two seniors, Nicole Ogrosso and captain Emily Woo as it was the last time they would swim at home in their careers.

Stevens started strong, taking first and second in the 200-yard medley relay. Freshman Andrea Sturnilo, junior Stephanie Miller, and sophomores Laura Barito and Sarah Parker turned in a 1:56.68 in winning the event.

Sophomore Mary Chew and freshman Kimberly McCaffrey finished one-two in the 1,650-yard freestyle. Chew finished with a time of 18:33.50 and McCaffrey carded an 18:44.33. Barito, Woo, and freshman Hayley Hatfield finished one, two, and three in the 200-yard freestyle (2:00.36, 2:02.26, 2:06.16). It was one of three events Stevens swept during the meet.

The Ducks also swept the 50-free as freshman Cailin Grunewald was first, touching at 25.84. She was followed by freshman Sian Pearson and Parker. Freshman Toni Diaz placed first in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:20.78.

Stevens took the three top spots in the 100-yard butterfly. Junior Gabrielle Czernik took first with a time of 1:02.61 and was followed by Hatfield and Miller. Woo and Diaz took first and second in the 100-free (56.28, 58.27), and Chew was first in the 200-yard backstroke. Stevens would have taken first in the final three events, but the Ducks swam them in exhibition.

Stevens will visit Ramapo College on February 7 in its final dual-meet of the season.
