PITTSBURGH--The Hood College women's swimming team won seven of eight events on the second day of the 2006 Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference Championships Sunday at Chatham College to seal its second straight league title and third crown in the last four years.

The Blazers, who swept all nine events on Saturday, set an AWCC Championships record with 276 points. Hood outdistanced runner-up College of Notre Dame, which had 203 points. Wells was third with 91 points, followed by Mary Baldwin with 84 and Chatham with 67.

"Our women were awesome this weekend," Hood head coach Don Feinberg said. "They really stepped up and did surprisingly better than I thought they would. Winning 16 of 17 events at the AWCC Championships is unprecedented and an impressive accomplishment considering we weren't fully rested."

Hood began Sunday's action by winning the 400-yard medley relay. Sophomore Lenore Brown, freshman Kara Cruice, sophomore Amy Kaufman and freshman Ashley Garyn teamed to finish in 4:37.72.

Freshman Sarah Haney capped her outstanding championship weekend by winning the 100-yard freestyle (1:00.02) and the 100-yard butterfly (1:07.72). She also set a personal best in the 200-yard breaststroke, finishing second by just 1.8 seconds.

Brown won the 200-yard backstroke in a pool record time of 2:22.94 and won a second straight title in the 200-yard individual medley in 2:26.15.

Kaufman defended her AWCC crown in the 1,000-yard freestyle with a season-best time of 11:21.31, while freshman Danielle Sgro was second in the event.

Hood put the finishes touches on its title by capturing the 400-yard freestyle relay. Kaufman, Garyn, sophomore Chloe Gandy and Hitchens posted a winning time of 4:06.76.

For the weekend, Kaufman and Brown each won four individual events and were on three winning relay teams. Haney won four individual titles as well and swam on two championship relay teams. Hitchens won one individual crown and was on three winning relays.

Event winners earned first-team All-AWCC honors, runners-up took second-team honors and third-place finishers garnered honorable mention accolades. In total, 12 Hood athletes combined for 35 All-AWCC awards.
