Worcester, Mass. – The Clark University women's swimming and diving team opened up the 2014-15 season in style, posting an impressive 187-87 win over Gordon College in a non-league dual meet at the Kneller Center Pool on Saturday afternoon.

Lydia Berry (Kennebunk, Maine), Natalie Omary (New York, N.Y.), Melissa Orzechowski (Windsor, Conn.) and Karina Urquhart (Sanford, Maine) all won multiple events as the Scarlet and White cruised to victory.

Berry took top honors in the 1,000-yard freestyle (12:03.46) ahead of teammate Hannah Reich (Danvers, Mass.). She then touched the wall first in an extremely close 500-yard freestyle with Gordon's Nicole St. Martin.
