Arnold's Three Wins Not Enough in Close Setback to Cal (Pa.)
    Youngstown -- Freshman Olivia Arnold won both distance freestyle events and anchored Youngstown State's winning 800-yard freestyle relay as the Penguins fell to California (Pa.) 144.50-142.50 Friday evening at the Beeghly Natatorium.
    YSU won 10 of the meet's 16 events, but Cal's depth was too much to overcome as at least two Vulcans scored in every event but diving. Cal finished the dual meet season 8-0.
    Arnold picked up YSU's first win in the 1,000 free with a time of 10:47.98 and swam a 5:17.74 in the 500 free. She added a second-place finish in the 100 breast and teamed up with Jessica Front, Erin-Michelle Gordon and Becky Bertuzzi in the free relay.
    Brittany Senn also had two individual victories with wins in the 50 free (25.07) and the 100 free (54.66), and Bertuzzi added a win in the 200 free (2:01.51) as the Penguins swept the freestyle events for the second-straight meet. Julia Darling won the 100 breast (1:08.93) and tied for first in the 200 IM (2:17.25).
    Cortney Harless earned her first collegiate win in the 1-meter board with a score of 218.20 while Kelly Reese tallied a collegiate-best score of 247.65 in the 3-meter.
    Front grabbed second-place finishes in the 100 free (56.93) and the 200 free (2:02.29) while Darling placed second in the 200 breast (2:31.63). Senn added a second-place finish in the 100 fly (1:02.51).
    The Penguins will take on Cleveland State and UIC on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Cleveland, Ohio.
