MOORHEAD, Minn. — The Minnesota State University Moorhead women's swimming and diving team is back in action on Saturday when it hosts Augustana. The dual begins at 2 p.m. at the Nemzek Pool in Moorhead, Minn.

MSUM is 4-4 in duals this season while Augustana is 2-2. The Vikings are a first-year program and will compete in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Championships in February.

MSUM went 2-0 in duals last weekend, beating a pair of NSIC foes. The Dragons beat Northern State, 149-113 on Friday and added a win over Mary, 149-110 on Sunday.

In the win over Northern State, MSUM won seven events (diving competed as an exhibition as the Wolves do not have a diving corps).  MSUM swept both relays and also got wins from freshman Breah Anderson, sophomore Taylor Beynon, freshman Courtney Skarie, senior Ashley Higgins and freshman Téa Nyland.

MSUM won nine events in the dual win over Mary with junior Erin Sullivan and senior Madison Kuznia each picking up two wins.

Sophomore Amber Westereng was named the NSIC Diver of the Week for the first time in her career after posting two lifetime best scores on Oct. 21.
