OMAHA, Neb. – The UNO swimming & diving team competed in its final regular-season home dual on Friday night, falling 185-109 to Nebraska at HPER Swimming Pool.

Junior #Amy Bechdolt# kicked off the evening with a win in the 50 yard backstroke with a time of 28.47. The Mavericks then swept the top three spots of the 50 yard breaststroke race, with senior #Laura Kemp# capturing the event title in 31.32, followed by junior #Kylie Hubbell# in second (31.56) and freshman #Maddie Hutt# in third (31.59). Hutt also finished first in the 100 yard breaststroke, clocking in a mark of 1:07.50.

On the diving side, junior #Amanda Schulte# took second in the one-meter diving competition with a score of 251.05.

"I was extremely happy with our performance tonight,” Head Coach #Todd Samland# said. “This meet and tomorrow's meet (at Nebraska-Kearney) help us determine our squad for the conference championships. We had some girls step up and swim really well, and the coaching staff is going to have a great discussion to determine our top 17 for conference. It is important if we want any possibility of competing with St. Cloud State and Mankato. We have some great stars, but now it is up to our depth to go after a championship."

UNO's final appearance of the 2010-11 season at HPER Pool will be the 2011 Midwestern Collegiate Championships, set for Feb. 16-19.

Nebraska-Omaha returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 29, traveling to Nebraska-Kearney. The dual is slated
