Sacred Heart freestyle swimmer Brianne Ryan, a senior from Hingham, Mass., competed in multiple events for the final time for a Pioneer home meet.

Ryan finished in the top three spots in the 800 Meter Freestyle and the 200 Meter Freestyle Relay.

Swimming and diving hosted their last match at the University of Bridgeport against CCSU on Saturday Feb. 4.

Sacred Heart fell 67-40.

The women's swimming team has concluded its regular season, and now will begin to prepare themselves for championships starting in two weeks.

Although the team currently stands at 3-9, it and the organization are excited about where the team is heading.

Back on Oct. 20, it was announced that the team was not only kicking off a 2005-2006 season, but a new era as well.

The addition of their new coach Allyson Tolla, as well as some new key freshmen, will help the team to reach its future goals.

"Our team has looked faster and faster every meet, we are looking very promising for the future," Erin Bulvanoski, a freshmen backstroke from Oceanport N.J., said.

The Northeast Conference Championships will begin Thursday, Feb. 16 in Landover, Md.
