Day 1 Results
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – Sophomore Breah Anderson recorded a win and a solid night by junior Taylor Beynon led the Minnesota State University Moorhead women's swimming and diving team at the opening day of the St. Cloud State quad Friday in St. Cloud, Minn. MSUM went 1-2 in duals on the day.

The Dragons beat Northern State 170-67 while losing to Northern Michigan (174-69) and St. Cloud State (148.5-94.50).

"We had a very competitive meet against St. Cloud this evening," MSUM head coach Todd Peters said.  "We have a few swimmers out with injuries and illness and that hurt us depth-wise at the end of the meet.  Our team stepped up tonight and had many season-best performances.  The divers were great on one-meter and we are excited about their improvements on the three-meter board as well."

MSUM won five of the first eight events – the 200 medley relay, 1,000 free, 50 free, 100 free and 200 fly -- vs. St. Cloud State and held the lead against the Huskies.
