BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo, the State University of New York women's swimming and diving team travels to Ypsilanti, MI for the Mid-American Conference Championships beginning on Wednesday at the Jones Natatorium on the campus of Eastern Michigan University.
Competition begins on Wednesday evening and runs through Saturday. The Bulls hope to pick up where they left off at the end of the regular season when they defeated previously unbeaten Bowling Green on January 31. Overall UB had a strong regular season, going 8-2 in dual meets.
The Bulls will lean on a trio of seniors who will look to repeat their All-MAC performances from a season ago. Jessica Powers won the MAC title in the 500 freestyle and 1,000 freestyle and was a member of the winning 800 freestyle relay team en route to earning All-MAC First Team honors last season.
Spencer Rodriguez was also named first-team All-MAC after winning the 400 individual medley and was a member of the MAC Champion 400 and 800 freestyle relay teams. Taylor Steffl also earned All-MAC Second Team honors a season ago.
Megan Burns will be making her first appearance at the MAC Championships after a stellar regular season. The UB freshman won the 50 and 100 freestyle event at every meet she competed in this season and just got stronger as the year progressed.
