LANCASTER, Pa. – The three-time defending champion Ursinus College women's swimming team placed a whopping nine members on the All-Centennial Conference team and swept the league's major awards, the league announced this afternoon. With inclusion on the all-conference squad being determined by performance at the championship meet, freshman Peyten Lyons became the second CC swimmer to be named both Most Outstanding Performer and Most Outstanding Rookie Performer in the same season, and head coach Mark Feinberg was named Coach of the Year.

The Bears had seven swimmers earn first-team honors, which are given to champions at the CC meet. Five garnered honorable mention selections, handed out to runners-up.

Lyons is the second Ursinus swimmer to collect the Most Outstanding Performer laurel, following in the strokes of Malena Lair Ferrari (2014). The freshman phenom compiled six gold medals over the three-day competition at Gettysburg, winning both the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke as well as the 200-yard IM in addition to being part of the victorious 200- and 400-yard medley and 800-yard freestyle relays.

Lyons was joined on the First Team by seniors Corinne Capodanno and Micaela Lyons; sophomores Sydney Gundersen, Margaret Leitz, and Olivia Tierney; and freshman Clara Baker.

Capodanno struck gold in the 200-yard freestyle, becoming just the third swimmer to win the event three times. She was also a member of the gold medal-winning 200-, 400-, and 800-yard freestyle relays as well as the 400-yard medley relay.

Micaela Lyons capped her conference career with a gold medal in the 100-yard freestyle while joining the 200 and 400 free relays and the 200 medley relay. Gundersen was a member of all three winning freestyle relays.

Leitz was victorious in the 200-yard butterfly and swam in the 800 free relay, while Baker captured the 100-yard butterfly title and assisted four medal-winning relays (200/400 free, 200/400 medley).

Tierney, meanwhile, became the first Ursinus swimmer – and only the fifth in CC history – to win multiple golds in the 200-yard butterfly.

Leitz was a silver medalist in the 100-yard butterfly, and Micaela Lyons placed second in the 50-yard freestyle; Capodanno did so in the 100-yard freestyle.

Junior Katie Pielmeier was a runner-up in the 200-yard IM, and sophomore Katherine Porter accomplished the feat in the 200-yard butterfly. Porter was also named to the All-CC Sportsmanship Team.

Feinberg was selected as the women's Coach of the Year for the fifth straight season.
