STANDISH, Maine – Saint Joseph's College competed against Maine Maritime Academy in head-to-head swimming action at the Harold Alfond Center Pool on Saturday. The visiting Mariners defeated the Monks by a 123-49 score.
SENIOR MOMENT:
Prior to the start of the meet, the swim program held a brief ceremony to honor the team's lone senior, Elise Soucy (Saco, Maine / Thornton Academy). Over four seasons at Saint Joseph's, Soucy competed in more than 80 events, earned two All-Conference selections, and received a pair of GNAC All-Academic honors. She also etched her name into the record book as a member of the Monks' 2023 record-board 200-medley relay team.
A respected leader with a constant supply of positivity, Soucy has made a lasting impact on the program and will be greatly missed. During the ceremony she received several gifts from her teammates and was joined by family members for a photo.
FOR THE MONKS:
- Soucy won the 200-Back with a 2:33.49 effort and placed second in the 50-Back (33.31)
- Freshman Morgan Farley (Windham, Maine) placed second in the mixed 1650-Free with a 21:37.50 time
- Junior Bri Letourneau (Lewiston, Maine) won the 50-Fly with a 32.20 time
- Freshman Madison Oh (Ringwood, N.J.) was third in the 50-Free (30.06) and placed fourth in the 50-Fly (38.32)
- Soucy, Farley, Letourneau, and Oh kicked off the day with a close win in the 200-Medley Relay (2:08.25); MMA was just over a second behind with a 2:09.30 effort
- Oh, Letourneau, Soucy and Farley posted a 1:58.67 time in the 200-Free Relay event
