Rulevich again posted another first-place finish. This time she won the 50 free with a 23.99 time.
For the first time in program history UNC Asheville sent out three divers to compete in the 1m diving event. Alyssa Vincent, Veronica Judson and Kerigan Martin were the three Bulldogs that competed in the first-ever diving event for Asheville. Vincent posted a second-place finish, while Judson and Martin finished third and fourth, respectively.
Rulevich capped off her meet with her third victory of the road meet. This time she won the 200 breaststroke. Her time of 2:24.41 was over a second faster than the runner-up. Sullivan finished third with a 2:26.98.

Quotable
"The result was hard to swallow today," said UNC Asheville swimming & diving head coach Elizabeth Lykins. "We raced and dove so well the entire day, and it was disappointing to see the miscues in the final event.
"I'm very proud of this team today. As always, we learned from our mistakes and celebrate the successes. Skylar Rogan turned in another great 1000 free and a 200 free relay. Morgan Rulevich swam three individual races and earned three first-place finishes. To have three divers compete in their first-ever meet was also outstanding. Junior Alyssa Vincent finished the 1m competition in second place, only six points behind first."
What's Next
After three straight road meets, UNC Asheville returns home on Friday, Nov. 2 to host CCSA rival Gardner-Webb. The Battle of the Bulldogs will commence at 5 p.m. in the Justice Center Pool.
