LANCASTER, Pa. – For the second consecutive time on the schedule, the Kutztown women's swim team split a tri-meet, taking down host Franklin & Marshall, but lost to Millersville Saturday afternoon in Lancaster.
 
KU won 149-99 over F&M, but was downed 156-103 to the Marauders.
 
Maggie Russell (Downingtown, Pa./Woodlynde School) was one of the highlights of the day as she finished second in the 100 Fly with a time of 59.46, ninth-fastest in program history. She, along with Julia Kopcho (Pemberton, N.J./Camden Catholic), Sarah Zeminski (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East), Phoebe Armes (Somerset, UK/Millfield School) and Birta Smaradottir (Mosfellsbær, Iceland/Commercial College of Iceland) all earned Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference qualifying standards. Russell, Kopcho and Zeminski led the Golden Bears with three cut times, while Armes and Smaradottir each had one.
 
Kopcho and Zeminski each won two individual events and the 400 Medley Relay team, consisting of Sara Bing (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North), Armes, Zeminski and Russell finished first overall.
 
Kutztown has a single meet next Saturday, Nov. 14, when it travels to take on Ursinus at 1 p.m.
