Miami University women’s swimming and diving team in back in the pool on Saturday, Nov. 8, to host Butler University at the Nixon Aquatic center at 1 p.m.
This is the first time the RedHawks have competed since their 172-115 loss to Ohio State on Oct. 23. Miami is looking to bounce back and even its dual meet record at 2-2, before preparing for the Miami Invitational next month.
Sophomore Stephanie LeMire looks to lead the RedHawks, after earning the only first-place finish for Miami against Ohio State in the 200-yard breaststroke. She also came in second place in the 100-yard breaststroke and was part of the second-place 200-yard medley relay with junior Michele Rielly, freshman Katherine Kuhl and senior Annie Marquiss in the meet against the Buckeyes.
Butler is coming off an eighth-place finish at the Indiana Intercollegiate Meet, which was hosted by Purdue. The Bulldogs also swam in a tri-meet, where they lost to IUPUI and defeated Eastern Illinois. Butler finished sixth in its first season in the BIG EAST last year, after moving from the Atlantic-10. The Bulldogs are led by head coach Maurice Stewart, who is in his ninth season at Butler.
