LOS ANGELES ? Following a week of trying times away from pool, the CSUB women's swim team returned to competition Saturday and responded with inspiring team and individual performances against Loyola Marymount.

The team of Stephanie Donnelly, Veronica Campbell, Lexie Kelly and Erin Craft got things started off with a 1:53.95 first place finish in the 200 yard medley relay.

Leah Felber followed with an 11:05.64 victory in the 1000 yard freestyle and two events later, Craft and Donnelly went one-two in the 100 yard backstroke. The duo would trade places in the 200 yard backstroke as Donnelly turned in a winning time of 2:11.94 and Craft followed with a 2:12.20 finish.

Also claiming individual wins were Kelly, with a 2:14.26 finish in the 200 yard individual medley and Campbell, who won the 100 yard breaststroke in a time of 1:09.36.

Kelly would also finish second in the 200 yard butterfly while Tessa Brown took the runner-up position in both the 100 yard and 200 yard breaststroke events.

While the Roadrunners came up short in the final team points total, 154-104, the score meant little in comparison to the individual performances.

“After the week we had it was a great swim,” said Head Coach Pat Skehan of her team's performance. “We needed to let go and be swimmers. And we ended up with a bunch of season-best times.”
