BISMARCK, N.D. — The Minnesota State University Moorhead women's swimming and diving team opened the 2018-19 season with a 180-117 dual meet win over the University of Mary in action Sunday in Bismarck, N.D.

MSUM is 1-0 in duals and was a winner in Charlie King's debut as Dragon head coach.

"We are happy with today's results," MSUM head coach Charlie King said. "We were impressed with our ability to win a lot of the close races. It was great to watch some new names really step up and define their roles on the team. The divers were on fire — Amber Westereng flipped and ripped her way to a PR on the 1-meter."
