ASHLAND, Ohio - The Wayne State University women's swimming and diving team opened the 2010-11 season at Ashland University on Saturday afternoon. Hillsdale College also participated in the three-team meet.

Among the highlights for the Warriors were two divers qualifying for nationals, as well as Sara Franklin making an NCAA “B” cut in the 100 backstroke.

Franklin's qualifier (58.82) came in the first event of the day, as she led off the second-place 400 medley relay with Kayla Scott, Agata Zalewska, and Alex Malfroid.

A group of freshmen performed particularly well in their collegiate debuts. Paige Kortman won the one-meter diving competition (249.45), Kelsey Dichler (11:03.81) and Alycen Wiacek (11:12.94) went one-two in the 1000 freestyle, and Scott finished second in the 100 breaststroke (1:09.99), 200 breaststroke (2:33.07) and 200 individual medley (2:16.01).
