BRIDGEWATER, Mass. - The Little East Conference (LEC) formally announced the 2022-2023 women’s swimming & diving all-conference team on Wednesday. All-conference recognition was determined by individual performances at last week’s LEC Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships.

Under the guidance of the LEC Coach of the Year, Mike Caruso, the BSU women's swimming & diving team had seven different student-athletes earn All-Little East accolades. LEC individual and relay champions garnered first team honors on the all-conference team while second place finishers were named to the All-Little East Second Team.

BSU freshman Cailey Simard (Haverhill, Mass.) swept the diving events at the Little East Championships as she picked up a pair of All-Little East First Team awards.

Simard also set school and meet records on both boards.

Junior Olivia Ranck (Wilbraham, Mass.) and senior Hannah Geoffrion (Barnstable, Mass.) earned All-Little East Second Team accolades for the Bears. Ranck, who produced a team-best 51 points at the meet, finished second in the 100 backstroke (1:01.42), 200 backstroke (2:13.73) and 100 individual medley (1:03.58).
