BOSTON - The Boston University women's swimming & diving team was edged by Bucknell, 163-137, in its season opener on Saturday afternoon at the FitRec Competition Pool.
Five Terriers, including two freshmen, won events on the day and BU also had the top finish in the 200 medley relay.
Senior Sezin Eligul and freshman Alex Pastushan each had a first- and second-place finish as Eligul won the 100 back in a time of 57.61 and Pastushan was first in the 200 back at 2:05.81. Patushan was second behind Eligul in the 100 back while Eligul was runner-up in the 100 free.
The Terriers took 13 of 19 points in each diving event with freshman Sophia Souza and senior Emily Balicanta each winning one event and finishing second in the other. Souza's 270.60 in the 3-meter event was good for first while Balicanta edged Souza in the 1-meter, 258.15-255.60.
Sophomore Sydney Sorbello finished first in the 50 free (24.28) and freshman Ashley Scafetta earned points in three events, highlighted by a second-place finish in the 1000 free (10:34.91). Sophomore Lara Mitchell earned seven team points, led by a runner-up effort to Pastushan in the 200 back.
