Liberty's girls swimming team scored its second victory of the season with a 203-103 win over Whitehall last Wednesday.
The Hurricanes took first place in every event except the 100 butterfly and the 400 free relay, and had 1-2-3 finishes in the 200 IM, 50 free, 100 free, and 100 backstroke.
The Hurricanes opened the meet with a 200 medley relay victory as Emily Cecchini, Julia McCarthy, Kayla Drago, and Anita Kundu swam to a first place finish in 1:56.45.
Individual event winners for Liberty were Chloe Kobis in the 200 free in 2:07.95, Cecchini in the 200 IM in 2:26.77, Kundu in the 50 free in 26.88, Rachel Steiner in diving with 188.95 points, Jocelyn Baker in the 100 free in 58.06, Kobis in the 500 free in 5:35.74, Madison Sauers in the 100 backstroke in 1:07.03, and Jess Becker in the 100 breaststroke in 1:15.47.
Regarding the 100 free, Baker said, "It was pretty close. Everyone was looking to either side of them to get as many points as we could."
Kundu placed second, and Shelby Turner placed third in that event.
Second and third place finishes are crucial to the final scores.
Baker said, "They're really important because with the scoring, two and three can tie first place, and two, three, four can beat out first place."
The Hurricanes also won the 200 free relay as McCarthy, Kundu, Sauers, and Turner took first place in 1:46.08.
