NEW YORK, N.Y. (Feb. 4, 2015) - On Saturday morning, the LIU Post women's swimming team won five of the seven events it competed in at the NYU Invitational, held at the Coles Sports Center.

In the day's first event, the 200-yard medley relay, the Pioneers' "A" squad raced to a top time of 1:48.95. Three swimmers posted under-30 second splits in the race for the green and gold.

Individually, senior Carolin Rademacher (Isernhagen, Germany) was first in the 400-yard individual medley and 100-yard breaststroke, touching the pad at 4:34.45 and 1:06.20, respectively. Freshman Erika Hultman (Bara, Sweden) added a third-place showing (1:11.39) in the 100-breast.

Meanwhile, the Pioneers earned the top two spots in the 100-yard butterfly.
