Oneonta, NY – The State University of New York at New Paltz women's swimming team came away with a victory against Hartwick College on Saturday afternoon, while the men were unable to oust the opposing Hawks.

SUNY New Paltz's women came out on top by a score of 158-122, while the men fell by a score of 113-167. The men battled despite not having a good chunk of the team present at the meet.

"We were missing a few guys due to things such as illnesses and other sports," Hawks head coach Tom Eickelberg said. "That's always hard to overcome. But our leaders came through and we had some great contributions nonetheless."

The women won 11 of their events, including freshman Lindsay Kranitz's first collegiate victory in the 100-yard breaststroke (1 minute, 11.87 seconds).

"Our newcomers, such as Lindsay Kranitz, really impressed me today," Eickelberg said.

Junior Jaimie Kaefer won three individual events on the day, finishing first in the 200-yard freestyle (2:01.41), 500-yard freestyle (5:29.79) and 200-yard individual medley (2:14.59). She was also a member of the team's first place 200-yard medley relay team (1:54.12) along with Kranitz, sophomore Chelsea Angulas and junior Nicole Lee.

Angulas placed first in the 100-yard backstroke (1:01.95) and 200-yard backstroke (2:17.49), while junior Katie Donlevy won the 100-yard freestyle (55.30) and 100-yard butterfly (1:01.59) and helped lead the team to a first place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:43.53) along with Kranitz, Lee and junior Kaleigh O'Halloran.

Senior Megan Joseph contributed with a first-place finish in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:38.84).

"The women were great today," Eickelberg said. "They rose to the challenge and were a true team. We needed our strong swimmers to win a bunch of events, and that's exactly what happened."

On the men's side, the Hawks won seven of their events, including their first of the day. The quartet of seniors Caleb Treadwell and Chad Plante, and sophomores Cooper Knapp and Konstantin Lomeyko combined to win the 200-yard medley relay (1:38.86).

Knapp finish first in three individual events, including the 200-yard freestyle (1:49.44), 200-yard backstroke (1:59.96) and 200-yard individual medley (1:58.70).

Treadwell won the 50-yard freestyle (22.73) and 100-yard freestyle (50.23), while Lomeyko placed first in the 200-yard butterfly (2:05.62).

Both teams will now prepare for their first home meet of the season, when the Hawks host Purchase College on Friday, Nov. 10 in Elting Pool at 5:30 p.m.
