IOWA CITY, Iowa – In the 35^th meeting of the Iowa and Iowa State women's swimming and diving programs, the Cyclones (5-2, 1-0 Big 12) fell to the Hawkeyes (3-2, 2-2 B1G) on Friday, 206-94.

Iowa got off to a quick start, winning the first six events on the evening, but Iowa State senior Amanda Paulson ended the streak by touching first in the 50 freestyle in a season best time of 0:23.11. Paulson's win was number 18 on the season and the 83^rd of her decorated career.

Fellow senior Sarah Deis also posted a veteran performance in her final Cy-Hawk meet, reaching the wall in a time of 1:51.01 during the 200 freestyle, moving her to 11^th in the Iowa State record books.

The Cyclone underclassmen stepped up with notable individual performances, as Kasey Roberts recorded fourth, fourth and fifth-best times in school history in the 100 breaststroke (1:02.19), 200 IM (2:02.56) and 200 breaststroke (2:15.91), respectively. Mary Kate Luddy's time of 2:03.61 in the 200 butterfly launched the freshman to fifth all-time in Iowa State history.

“Kasey swam two lifetime bests in the 100 breaststroke, her 200 breast was a lifetime best by almost four seconds and her 200 IM was just off her lifetime best by four-one-hundredths of a second. Outstanding job on her part,” head coach Duane Sorenson said. “Mary Kate had two lifetime bests, but I think we can get a lot more out of her racing.”

Junior Elyse Brouillette led the Cyclones on the boards with a second-place 273.68-point performance in the one-meter event. Brouillette also took fourth on the three-meter board with a 289.35.

“I think she getting back on track. Everyone goes through slumps now and then,” Iowa State head diving coach Jeff Warrick said. “This is a good indication that she's breaking out of that slump. She's not where I know she can be yet, but we're heading in that direction.”
