BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 19 Texas A&M women's swimming & diving team is set to host LSU on Saturday at 10 a.m. inside the Rec Center Natatorium. Prior to the final home dual meet of the season, the Aggies will celebrate seniors Alyssa Clairmont, Ashley Conrad, Danielle Hepler, Andrea Perttula, Caroline Theil and Mollie Wright.

The Maroon & White last competed in back-to-back meets on the road, bouncing back after falling short to Auburn with a win against Georgia Tech and SCAD in a double-dual meet.

Chloe Stepanek was consistent in the freestyle events, winning the 100 and 200 in both meets with her fastest swims on the week against Auburn being 49.79 and 1:47.60, respectively. Additional first-place finishes against the Tigers came from Abby Grottle in the 1,000 free (9:56.29), Charlotte Longbottom in the 100 breast (1:02.60) and Olivia Theall in the 100 fly (53.89).

While at Auburn, Joslyn Oakley placed first on the 1-meter as she scored 298.80. Alyssa Clairmont also added points for the Aggies, claiming a pair of second-place scores on the 1-meter (289.35) and 3-meter (312.83).

The traveling didn't slow A&M down as it claimed victory in both the 200 medley and 200 free relays against Georgia Tech and SCAD.

The backstroke events were filled by Aggies at the double-dual, as the top five spots included Aviv Barzelay (55.42) leading the way and Sarah Szklaruk Traipe (56.13), Jordan Buechler (56.62), Sydney Roycraft (57.26) and Ashley Conrad (57.79) following. The momentum didn't stop there as Aggies also filled the top-four times in the 200: Barzelay (1:59.49), Szklaruk Traipe (2:02.24), Giulia Goerigk (2:04.36) and Roycraft (2:04.65).

Goerigk contributed points against Georgia Tech and SCAD with a pair of top finishes in the 1,000 free (10:10.90) and 200 IM (2:03.60). Another Aggie success in distance came from Rachel Love winning the 500 free as she clocked 5:01.78.
