WASHINGTON - George Washington women's swimming and diving picked up a pair of wins Saturday, downing Howard and Chowan at its first dual meet of the season.

The Colonials won eight of 12 events to beat the host Bison, 127-80, and the Hawks, 134-66, at Burr Gym Pool. They used a balanced effort to do it, highlighted by a pair of individual wins from freshman Andrea Ho.

HIGHLIGHTS

Ho picked up her wins in the 200-yard individual medley (2:10.51) and 500-yard freestyle (5:14.46). The Colonials went 1-2-3 in the 200 IM with Elisabeth Vogel and Courtney Coghill following Ho.
Jackie Torrez won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:58.40 and also swam a leg on GW's winning 200-yard freestyle relay. Caroline Racke took first in the 50-yard freestyle and anchored the 200-yard medley relay victory.
The Colonials dominated the 100-yard butterfly, taking the first four spots. Sophomore Alli Lapps won, followed by freshmen Morgan Birdy, Patricia Cerri-Droz and Josephine Teat.
Hannah Kopydlowski captured GW's other individual victory in the 100-yard freestyle. It was the senior's return to action after missing last season due to injury. She was followed in her victory by teammates Sydney Melnick and Lynn Zhang.
Isobel Walker led off both of GW's relay wins.

UP NEXT: GW is home for the first time next weekend, hosting Marshall at Charles E. Smith Center Pool on Friday at 2 p.m and Boston College the next day at 2:30 p.m.
