DURHAM, N.H. - The University of New Hampshire swimming and diving team defeated Maine, 166-91, in the Border Battle presented by Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday evening at Swasey Pool.

"It was a great meet to celebrate the senior class and finish out the dual meet season," said Head Coach Josh Willman. "We are looking forward to gearing up for championships."

The Wildcats, who won 13 of the 16 events, conclude the regular season unbeaten at 7-0-1 (2-0 America East), while the Black Bears fall to 0-3 (0-2).

Before the meet, UNH honored its seven seniors: Emma Clarke (Avon, N.Y.), Annie Jencova (Waikanae, New Zealand), Megumi Komoto (Schaumburg, Ill.), Ana O'Neil (St. Paul, Minn.), Chiara Maria Pradissitto (Milan, Italy), Grace Sala (Sun Prairie, Wis.), and Sydney Stockwell ((Hopkinton, N.H.).

This accomplished group has combined for 20 conference championship finalists, eight conference event champions, nine All-America East honors, and 16 America East Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll selections. They are also members of two America East Swimming and Diving Team Championships.
