STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern Swimming lost their final home meet of the season by just nine points to North Florida on Saturday. The final score was 120-111 despite the Eagles winning five of the 11 swimming events.

The meet began with two wins for Georgia Southern with a first-place finish in the 200 Medley Relay by Elizabeth Chemey, Isabelle Bray, Jessica Ware and Holland Danskin (1:52.84) and another one in the 1000 Free by Klaudia Holt (10:45.00)

The Eagles came back and won the fourth event, the 50 Free, thanks to Melissa Cox (24.12).

Holt also won the 500 Free with a time of 5:12.52 and Bray claimed the last win of the meet for the Eagles in the 200 Breast (2:27.47).

The Eagles' four seniors – Chemey, Markie Duffy, Ashley Kubel and Gretchen Mossburg – were honored during the meet.

"I am so proud of how hard are women competed today," said head coach Amanda Caldwell. "It was a team effort and what a way to send our seniors out with a close meet coming down to the last races."

Next Saturday, Jan. 18, the Eagles will host their Diving Invitational at 11 a.m.
