LOUDONVILLE, NY – The Siena Swimming and Diving Team put forth a dominant all-around team effort in topping visiting Stonehill 238.5 to 128.5, winning nine of 13 total events at the Siena Swim Center on Saturday to put a punctuation mark onto their Senior Day celebration.
 
The Saints (6-9) turned in winners from sophomore GayLynn Kirn (200-yard freestyle), freshman Leslie Dame (100-yard breaststroke), sophomore Hope Ivanovich (50-yard butterfly and 400-yard Individual medley), senior Shaylea Triller (50-yard free and 100-free), sophomore Mea Amedio (100-yard IM), freshman Gabrielle Rentosa (50-yard backstroke) and the 200-yard free relay team of junior Mya Reed, senior Kylie Carter, junior Kaci Owens and Kirn.

Dame, a native of St. John's, FL, clocked in 1:08.44 to top her next closest competitor by nearly one second in the 100-yard breaststroke. 
 
Ivanovich, the resident of Trumbull, CT, advanced in two skins with times of 26.06, then 26.22, before winning the 50-yard butterfly in 26.34. 

The 19-year-old had enough left in the tank to also win the women's 400-yard IM by over four seconds in 4:43.46.
