Lutes Falls to Alaska in Two Dual Meets

Saturday Meet Results
Sunday Meet Results

FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The University of Alaska swept a pair of women's dual swim meets from Pacific Lutheran during the weekend, winning 134-70 on Saturday and 126-79 on Sunday.

The wins were the first of the season for the NCAA Division II Nanooks, who are now 2-4 in duals. Pacific Lutheran saw a three-meet win streak come to an end and is now 3-3 this season.

On Saturday, Dayna Blauvelt won the 50 freestyle (27.25) but was the only Pacific Lutheran swimmer to win an event. The Lutes had more success on Sunday with three event victories. Jessie Klauder won two of those, taking the 1650 freestyle (19:07.86) and the 200 breaststroke (2:40.44), while Casey Jackson was victorious in the 200 backstroke (2:19.06).

With finals coming up this week, the Lutes won't return to the pool until just after the Christmas break. They will travel to California for training before taking on Cal Lutheran in a Jan. 2 dual meet.
