RIVER FALLS, Wis. — It wasn't their best effort of the season, and it wasn't the worst — the Saint Mary's University swimming and diving teams' regular season-ending meet against UW-River Falls was somewhere in-between.

"I think we were a bit overworked in some cases — we kind of swam all over the place," said SMU coach Eric Lindquist, whose men's team dropped a 102-55 decision to the Falcons, while the Cardinal women fell 125.5-102.5. "There were some nice races, but overall, it wasn't one of our best."

Heidi Andre (Fairbanks, Alaska) picked up a first-place finish in the 500 freestyle, posting a time of 5:40.45, just missing the school record by 2.05 seconds. Andre, one of five seniors swimming their final regular-season meet, also earned a second in the 100 butterfly (1:11.81). Tori Evans (Junction City, Ore.) picked up SMU's other first-place finish, touching the wall in 2:15.15 in the 200 freestyle, while Abby Huot (Lake Elmo, Minn.) was second in the 100 breaststroke (1:19.61).

"There were a lot of great swims, a lot of solid, second-place efforts — just not enough firsts," said Lindquist. "We swam well, we swam hard, and now we can truly focus on the conference championships (in two weeks).

"That's been our No. 1 priority all season, so now that we've finished the regular season part of our schedule, we can complete our final preparations for our biggest meet of the year."
