The South Dakota Women's Swimming and Diving Team (3-1) won 10 events and edged Nebraska-Omaha, 150-149, in a North Central Conference dual meet at the HPER Pool on the UNO campus in Omaha, Neb., on Friday night.

"This is a big win for us," said second-year head swimming coach Jason Mahowald. "I believe this may be our first-ever dual win against UNO in Omaha. Our team is really pleased with their efforts tonight," he said.
