WORCESTER, Mass. -- Sarah Dinwoodie (East Greenwich, RI), Alana Aubin (Taunton, MA) and Morgan Guardino (Manchester, CT) each won two events to lead the way, as Women's Swimming and Diving held off a late charge from visiting Bridgewater State for a 150-102 victory at Clark's Kneller Athletic Center on Saturday.
