MANKATO, Minn. — Despite two wins from sophomore Taylor Beynon, the Minnesota State University Moorhead women's swimming and diving team fell to Minnesota State, 186-114 in action Friday night in Mankato, Minn.

MSUM fell to 6-5 in duals while MSU is now 1-1.

"We had a good plan to win the meet tonight and for the most part we executed what we needed to do, the Mavericks just out-competed us," MSUM head coach Todd Peters said. "In fact, they had three pool record performances tonight and those were the races that made the biggest difference.  We needed to start out with a win in the 200 Medley Relay, but Mankato had their first pool record swim in that event for the win.  We finished 2-3-4 in both the 1,000 free and 200 free and then won both the 100 backstroke and 100 breaststroke, and we were just five points back.  Mankato's Taylor Bass dropped seven seconds from her season best to break the pool record and win the 200 butterfly, which we expected to win, but we had to settle for 2-3-4.  Mankato went on to win the next four events, the 50 free, 3 meter diving, the 100 free and 200 backstroke.  We had hoped to take two of those four, but Mankato's Chelsea Calhoun broke the pool record to give Erin Sullivan her first loss this year in the 200 back.  Taylor Beynon did her part by winning the 200 breaststroke for her second win of the night.  Danica Scheef nearly pulled out the win in the 500 free, but was narrowly out-touched by 0.24 seconds and the Dragons settled for 2-3-4 in that event."

Beynon won the 100 breast in 1:08.41 and added a win in the 200 breast in 2:26.23 to give her two wins on the night. Beynon was second in the 200 IM in 2:14.91 while senior Shae Bodrero was third in 2:17.60.

Junior Erin Sullivan won the 100 back in 57.89, senior Madison Kuznia was third in 1:00.57. Sullivan was second in the 200 back in 2:06.56 with Kuznia third in 2:12.26. Sullivan added a third in the 100 butterfly (59.87).

Senior Kelly Engbring was second in the 1,000 free in 11:20.24. Freshman McKenna Togstad was third in 11:20.66.

MSUM's 'A' 200 medley relay was third in 1:49.50. That consisted of Sullivan, Beynon, freshman Leticia Rodovalho and freshman Breah Anderson.

Anderson was second in the 200 free in 2:00.34 while senior Danica Scheef was third in 2:01.13. Anderson was also runner-up in the 100 free in 53.43.

Senior Danica Scheef was second in the 500 free in 5:27.20 while Danae Scheef was third in 5:32.83. Senior Ashley Higgins was third in the 50 free 25.24
