Owls Next Compete Saturday Against SMU & Arkansas

By: John Sullivan (jsully@rice.edu)

Sophomore Ellery Parish won a pair of individual events, and the Owls were on the top of the medal stand six times overall, but North Texas claimed a 169-125 Conference USA dual meet victory over the Rice swimmers Friday evening in Denton, Texas.

Parish posted a win in the 200-freestyle with a time of 1:54.22. The San Antonio native then showed some versatility winning the 200-backstroke (2:04.47). Fellow sophomore Brittany Bui won the 200-butterfly with a time of 2:04.54.

Three Rice freshmen stepped-up with individual wins in the C-USA clash. Phillis Range led a 1-2 Owl finish with Nicole Limberg in the 200-breaststroke with times of 2:20.65 and 2:23.09, respectively. Becca Evans placed first in the 100-freestyle (53.63) and Marta Cano-Minarro won the 100-fly (57.48).

The Blue & Gray still has two more key meets coming up on the weekend road swing. Rice next takes on former conference rivals SMU and Arkansas on Saturday in Dallas at 11 am.
