The Shippensburg University women's swimming team got its 2019-20 regular season started early with a Thursday night dual meet at Kutztown, with the Raiders posting the fastest time in 11-of-14 events in a 132-112 victory over the Golden Bears.
 
Sophomores Tomomi Nakano, Bri Joll and Madison Breiner and freshman Eva Tice each won multiple events on the night. Nakano claimed gold in the 50-yard backstroke (29.36 seconds) and the 50-yard butterfly (28.74 seconds), while Joll was the first to touch the wall in the 100-yard butterfly (1:03.66) and the 200-yard IM (2:21.65).
 
Breiner won the 50-yard freestyle (26.33) and the 100-yard freestyle (56.52) while also serving as the freestyle leg of the 200-yard medley relay that opened the night with a time of 1:57.39. Tice took the 50-yard breaststroke in 34.71 seconds and the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:14.68. Nakano, Tice, junior Mari Reott and Breiner combined for the medley relay.

Freshman Manisha Kapoor and senior Gracee Tothero were also among the other top finishers of the night. Kapoor claimed gold in the 100-yard backstroke, edging Reott with a time of 1:04.15, and Tothero completed the 500-yard freestyle in 5:42.24.
 
Shippensburg swam exhibitions in the final four events.
 
In two weeks, the women's team returns to action and the men's team opens its season against IUP with a 5 p.m. dual meet on Wednesday, Oct. 2 from Donald N. Miller Pool.
