BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Junior Sarah Rechtiene (Southbury, Conn.) eclipsed her own school mark in the 200 breaststroke to lead the Bridgewater State University swimming & diving teams against Division II Bentley University on Tuesday evening at the Moriarty Pool.

Visiting Bentley swept the meet as the Falcons recorded a 213.5-84 victory on the men's side and a 154-128 win on the women's side.

Rechtiene posted a time of 2:34.20 to place first in the 200 breaststroke as she bettered her previous standard of 2:35.07 set in 2012.  Rechtiene also swam a leg on a pair of winning relay squads, the 200 medley relay (2:01.37) and the 200 freestyle relay (1:51.26).

Joining Rechtiene on the 200 medley relay were seniors Ashley Dunican (Bennington, Vt.) and Nelia Borden (Westport, Mass.) and freshman Sarah Biltcliffe (Fall River, Mass.).  Rechtiene, Borden, senior Ariel Gillis (Blackstone, Mass.) and junior Kendra Perry (Middleboro, Mass.) swam the 200 freestyle relay.

Rechtiene also placed second in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:04.19.  Also adding second-place showings for the Bears were Dunican in the 100 backstroke (1:06.78), Biltcliffe in the 100 breaststroke (1:13.31) and 200 breaststroke (2:42.85), Borden in the 50 freestyle (27.77), senior Chelsea Nolan (Lowell, Mass.) in the 1,000 freestyle (11:47.30) and sophomore Kerry Davis (Haverhill, Mass.) in the 200 butterfly (2:51.86).

"This is by far the best meet I've ever coached here at Bridgewater State," noted BSU Head Coach Mike Caruso.  "The kids were great and we had so much fun tonight."

"Words cannot express how proud I am of these athletes and coaches," Caruso added. "It was a great way to send the seniors off."
