FORT MYERS, Fla. - The UNC Asheville women's swimming team put together some extremely solid performances in a 154-51 Coastal Collegiate Sports Association loss to 34th-ranked Florida Gulf Coast on Sunday at the FGCU Aquatics Center.
Â
Morgan Rulevich put together the most complete performance of the day for the Bulldogs with the sophomore winning the 100 freestyle with a time of 52.55. She also claimed third in the 100 breastroke with a time of 1:06.83.

BULLDOG BITES
SKY(LAR) HIGH: Skylar Rogan continued her strong performances of late against Florida Gulf Coast. At Asheville's last meet in the Wingate Fall Frenzy, Rogan became the first Bulldog to ever break 5:00 in the 500 freestyle. En route to setting her lifetime best and earning the fourth place point at the Wingate Fall Frenzy, Rogan dropped almost :03 from her morning swim on Friday, Nov. 18, to set the new school and freshman record in 4:58.75. In the meet with Florida Gulf Coast, Rogan earned second place in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:39.04.
Â
KEEPING IT GOING: Catherine Allen set the new school record in the 100 (57.59) and 200 butterfly (2:05.39) at the Wingate Fall Frenzy. She continued her solid efforts against Florida Gulf Coast by finishing second in the 100 butterfly with a time of 59.19. Allen also picked up a third place finish in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:59.89. Â
Â
STRONG SECOND PLACE FINISHES: Sophomore Jessica Woolfe picked up second place points in the meet against Florida Gulf Coast for the Bulldogs in the 50 freestyle with a time of 25.74. Junior Emily Werth garnered a second place finish in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:00.70.
Â
A PLACE SHE KNOWS WELL: Named the 2015-16 CCSA Co-Coach of the Year, UNC Asheville swimming head coach Elizabeth Lykins has been at the helm of Bulldog swimming since its inception in 2012. Prior to taking the reins at Asheville, Lykins was an assistant coach at Florida Gulf Coast University. During her tenure with the Eagles, the team achieved four-straight CCSA conference championships as well as a runner-up finish in 2006.

QUOTABLES
"The team swam well today against a top-ranked conference opponent. We competed hard and worked on some race strategies to help throughout the remainder of the season. I was happy with how the team responded to racing while being broken down and a bit tired. Learning to swim fast even when we don't feel 100 percent is an important lesson to take away from winter training meets, and I feel we are doing a good job with this concept." – Elizabeth Lykins Â
UP NEXT
The Bulldogs will now have almost a month off from competition before welcoming in Liberty to the Justice Center Pool for a CCSA dual meet at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 14.
