WILMINGTON, N.C. – Georgia Southern Swimming & Diving made a coastal swing on Saturday, visiting UNC Wilmington for a dual meet to close out a weekend double. Courtney Schaefer earned her second event win in as many days, winning the 400 IM after taking the 200 IM on Friday night at Campbell. Kaylyn Thomas earned three second place finishes on the afternoon, placing in the 200 Free, 100 Free and 100 Fly.

The Eagles dropped their second-straight road meet in the midst of a training regimen that sets the squad up for the Georgia Tech Invitational which wraps the first half of the season. Georgia Southern visits Atlanta for the three-day meet starting on November 17th. The Eagle divers travel to West Florida on November 12 to make up a postponed meet from earlier this season.

QUOTABLES
Head Coach Laura Thomas
"It is always tough to lose on the road, but we are in a difficult time of the season where we are training and lifting hard. We saw improvement from Friday to Saturday and everyone raced well. We are looking forward to the Georgia Tech Invite in a few weeks where we will have a little rest behind us and be sharper in the water."
