DURHAM, N.H. – Trailing New Hampshire by five points before the final event of Saturday's dual meet at Swasey Pool, the Northeastern women's swimming and diving team received a winning effort from Lena Spear, Sidney Smith, Annika Ruehlicke and Megan Clark during the 400 freestyle relay, clinching NU the 152-148 victory.
 
The Huskies' 400 freestyle relay broke a pool record (3:28.94), assuring Northeastern (2-2) a split of the meet's 16 events. NU earned the 26-8 scoring edge from its two relay victories and outgained New Hampshire (2-1) by a 29-9 margin on the diving board.
 
Clark championed the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle events for the Huskies. The NU senior narrowly defeated the Wildcats' Anna Metzler in the 200 freestyle by 0.08 seconds before achieving the only sub-24 second time in the 50 freestyle (23.47).
 
Spear finished runner-up to Clark in the 50 and 100 freestyle events, helping the Huskies elevate their team scoring. Kelly Cheng also won a neck-and-neck battle with New Hampshire's Paige Hillis to claim victory in the 100 butterfly (58.57) by less than 0.4 seconds.
 
Elly Morrison placed first in both the 1- and 3-meter diving competitions. Morrison scored 255.45 and 254.62, respectively, finishing immediately ahead of second-place Lauren O'Sullivan (237.96, 243.52).
