January 20, 2001 | Women's Swimming & Diving
Sophomore Stacey Gallacher (Horseheads, NY) and junior Laurie Green (St. Johns, Newfoundland) each won two events, but it was not enough as the Terrier women's swimming and diving team lost to Boston College, 177-121, on Tuesday (January 22nd).
"Our women swam very well," said head coach Reagh Wetmore. "We had five of our top swimmers out of action, two of whom were having operations. Plus, we had just had a big conference meet on Sunday (January 20th)."
The coach was referring to the Terriers' impressive 179-115 win at Vermont just two days earlier. Both Gallacher and Green led the way for the Terriers as Gallacher won both the one- and three-meter dives, while Green won the 100 and 200 breaststroke. Gallacher scored 261.37 points in the one-meter and 252.07 in winning the three-meter event. In the meantime, Green was clocked in 1:07.52 in the 100 breaststroke and 2:25.85 in the 200.
