OMAHA,Neb. -- The UNO swimming & diving team outswam future Summit League foe South Dakota Friday night, winning 165-126 at HPER Swimming Pool on the UNO campus.

The Mavericks' 200-yard medley relay team of junior Cami Hansberry, sophomores Tiesha Scipio and Kylie Rathbone and senior Colleen Klaiber gave UNO its first win of the night, clocking a time of 1:46.68.

Freshman Lexi Bergeron, who led the Mavericks in a pair of events, won both the 1000-yard freestyle and the 500 free with marks of 10:33.71 and 5:08.69, respectively.

Hansberry finished first in the 100-yard backstroke in 59.13, and Rathbone nabbed a top time in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:05.53. Sophomore Madeline Hutt placed just behind her in the 100 breast (1:05.88), then earned a win of her own in the 200 breast (2:20.77).

Freshman Christen Young posted a time of 2:09.20 in the 200-yard butterfly for a first-place performance, and Scipio added to the Mavericks' total again in the 100 free with a winning time of 52.45.

Klaiber and freshman Jenna Foiles capped the night in style, finishing first in each of their events. Foiles swam to a time of 2:10.51 in the 200 back, and Klaiber came in with a victorious 57.55 in the 100-yard butterfly.

"I was very impressed with our team tonight," Head Coach Todd Samland said. "After we had such a great meet at our Mutual of Omaha Invite last week, it's hard to believe that we would meet or beat our times again just seven days later.

"This was also a meet against our first Summit League opponent, and USD is an extremely gifted team with some very impressive competitors. The fans had a very good battle in front of them. We feel very fortunate to win this meet -- it could have gone either way."

The Mavericks take a month-long break before returning to action Saturday, Jan. 14 on the road at South Dakota State. Action is set to start at 2 p.m. in Brookings, S.D.
