WALTHAM, Mass. - Bentley sophomore Arden Brust (Newark, N.Y./Newark HS) captured the 100 yard backstroke, and medaled in two other events, Friday during the first day of the Northeast-10 Conference Women's Swimming and Diving Championships at Southern Connecticut State.

Led by Brust, Bentley finished the opening day with 366 points, good for third place in a seven-team field. Southern Connecticut owns first place, with 481, and Le Moyne is second with 416.

Brust had a winning time of 1:02.39 in the 100 breast as she touched 0.21 seconds ahead of Genevieve Suits of Le Moyne. She also finished third in the 400 individual medley with a time of 4:48.54.

In addition, Brust teamed with senior Brianne Tulley (Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford HS), freshman Kristen Thuerk (Cheshire, Conn./Cheshire HS) and sophomore Allison Colarusso (Middleboro, Mass./Coyle-Cassidy HS) for second place in the meet's first event, the 400 medley relay. Their time was 4:12.90.

Tulley picked up silver in the 100 breaststroke (1:12.34), Thuerk was a bronze-medal winner in the 100 butterfly (1:01.91) and junior Tezzy Bergantz (Trumbull, Conn./Trumbull HS) finished third in the one-meter diving (3:21.45).

Bentley also had third-place finishes in both the 200 free relay and the 800 free relay. In the 200, the quartet of Tulley, Colarusso, sophomore Liza Connolly (Washington, Conn./Shepaug Valley HS) and junior Kaitlin Anelauskas (Medfield, Mass./Medfield HS) combined for a time of 1:44.81.

The foursome in the 800 was Thuerk, junior Amana Albertian (Hopkinton, Mass./Hopkinton HS), sophomore Joel Barlow (Redding, Conn./Joel Barlow HS) and freshman Alexa Waldron (Hewitt, N.J./Immaculate Heart Acad.). They finished in 8:33.24.
