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.
