HUNTINGDON, PA – The Juniata women's swim team fell 63-135 to the Millersville Mauraders in the season opener in Binder Nataturium. 

The Eagles finished the meet with two first place finishes. 

Jocelyn Skelly (Hershey, PA / Hershey High School) took the victory in the 100m butterfly with a time of 1:11.02 while Tzvia Cahn (San Jose, CA / Kehila Jewish) took the top spot in the 50m free at 29.24 seconds. 

"The team swam very well today," head coach Nathan Smith said. "The upperclassmen had some solid swims for the first meet of the year and the underclassmen performed even better. The sophomore class had a lot of races that were faster than any they swam last season in our pool. The freshmen had some good debuts as well."
