EAST STROUDSBURG – Junior Colleen Dwyer broke her own school record in the 50-yard backstroke, junior Kate Zimmerman won a team-high three events, and East Stroudsburg University topped Millersville in 12 of 14 events overall to earn a convincing 171-91 victory at Koehler Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.

Killane led the way in the first individual event, defeating Millersville's Jessica Berry by over 22 seconds with a time of 11:17.97 in the 1000 freestyle. Killane would later add a convincing 21 second win in the 500 free, completing the race in 5:32.84.
