BALTIMORE, Md. - The Marist women's swimming and diving team finished their final session of competition at the H2ounds Invitational with five wins in six events. Overall, the Red Foxes completed the meet with three wins; a 298-54 victory over Saint Peter's 298-54, a 263-104 score versus Iona and a 251-119 score versus Loyola. Red-shirt junior Erica Vitale (Sterling, Conn.) led the squad with two individuals wins in Session Three.

The final set of events began with the "A" team of Vitale, Greta Leberfinger, Emily Miles and Maddie Arciello swimming to a two second victory in the 200-yd medley relay with a time of 1:47.52.

Vitale earned her first individual win of the meet with a dominant showing in the 200-yd backstroke. The red-shirt junior won with a time of 2:04.62. Allison Kreho finished in second place with a time of 2:07.06, while Shannon Toal (Rye Brook, N.Y.) took sixth at 2:13.53.

Three events later, Vitale collected her second victory with a 2:06.74 time in the 200-yd butterfly. She led a quartet of Red Foxes, who went 1-2-3-4 in the race. Miles, Amanda Letchko and Leanna Brittis followed with times of 2:07.76, 2:10.34 and 2:10.71, respectively.

Leberfinger finished her strong competition with a win in the 200-yd breaststroke at 2:17.06. That time puts her within a second of the school record, as well as the NCAA Division 1 B-Standard.
