Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska-Kearney women's swimming team earned its fifth dual win of the season, beating the College of St. Mary, 138-67, Saturday evening in the Cushing Pool.
 
This was UNK's only home event this season.

Also finishing first in two events was junior Rebecca Tidwell (Emporia, Kans.). She swam the 200 free in 2:12.23 to win by over eight seconds while turning in a 58.47 in the 100 free. That time was seven seconds better than the runner up.
