January 25th, 2011     
With senior Anne Kaduboski (Dedham/Dedham HS) and freshman Heather Exley (Oceanside, Calif./Vista HS) leading the way, the Bentley University women’s swimming and diving team rolled to a 138-109 win over Bridgewater State College Tuesday night at the Dana Center pool to complete an unbeaten dual season.         
               
Bentley won every event against the Bears while pushing the record to 11-0. It’s the third time in the last 11 seasons that coach Mary Kay Samko’s club has posted an unblemished record, the first time since 2001-02.

Kaduboski, in the final dual meet of her career, swam to victory in the 50 backstroke (29.23 seconds) and the 50 butterfly (27.62). She also swam the opening leg on Bentley’s 200 free relay team, which finished in 1:53.59 and included three other seniors: Elizabeth Heinonen (Bangor, Maine/Bangor HS), Larissa Brewster (Centerville/ Barnstable HS) and Sarah Temple (Topsham, Maine/Cheverus HS).

Freshman Amy Shin (Lancaster/Nashoba Reg. HS) was also a double-winner for the Falcons, taking the 100 butterfly in 1:04.62 and the 100 backstroke in 1:04.38.

Ten different Falcons, including senior Matt Cesaro (Avon, Conn./Avon HS), recorded victories in individual events as the Bentley University men’s swimming and diving team captured every event en route to a 141-100 victory over Bridgewater State Tuesday night at the Dana Center pool. With the win, the Falcons finish their dual record at 8-2.
               
Cesaro, swimming at home for the final time, took the 200 yard freestyle in 2:00.64, the 100 breaststroke in 1:10.26 and the 100 individual medley in 1:00.93. He also anchored the Falcons’ winning 200 medley relay team that finished in 1:45.28.

Walsh swept the diving, with scores of 257.85 on the one meter and 275.17 on the three meter.
