Kopcho, Soto and Zeminski win trio of events at Millersville

MILLERSVILLE, Pa. -- Julia Kopcho (Pemberton, N.J./Camden Catholic), Ana Soto (Hamburg, N.J./Vernon Township) and Sarah Zeminski (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) each captured a pair of event victories and helped the 200-yard freestyle relay team to a win as the Kutztown University women's swim team dropped a dual meet with PSAC foe Millersville, 135-127, on Saturday at the Anttonen Natatorium.

The Golden Bears (3-3, 2-3 PSAC) amassed 12 PSAC Championships cut times and Kopcho joined the program's top 10 list in the 400 individual medley.

Kopcho won the 200 free in 1:58.76, the 500 free in 5:18.98 and teamed with Soto, Zeminski and Frannie Pease-Wingenter (Goodyear, Ariz./Millennium) to win the 200 free relay in 1:40.47. She was also runner-up in the 400 IM, posting the seventh-fastest time in program history at 4:46.10. The freshman from Pemberton, N.J., set PSAC qualifying times in all three of her individual events on the day.

Soto won back-to-back events with PSAC cut times in the 50 and 100 free. She took the 50 free in 24.87 ahead of teammate Pease-Wingenter (25.27) in a 1-2 finish for the Maroon and Gold, before claiming the 100 free in 54.41.

Zeminski swept the butterfly events, capturing the 200-yard edition in a PSAC cut time of 2:17.43 and the 100-yard race in 1:01.39.

Tatum Rothermel (Halifax, Pa./Halifax) swam PSAC times in the 100 and 200 breaststroke. She took second in the 200 breast, while fellow Golden Bear Birta Smaradottir (Mosfellsbær, Iceland/Commercial College of Iceland) set a PSAC qualifying time in the same event with a 2:33.76.

Sara Bing's (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North) 2:01.47 in the 200 free and Annamarie Rodier's (Mount Laurel, N.J./Lenape) 4:54.58 in the 400 IM were also PSAC qualifying times for KU, along with Pease-Wingenter's 50 free performance.

Kutztown continues its stretch of six consecutive weeks with meets or invitationals next Saturday, Nov. 15, at Ursinus.
