NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Alabama women's swimming and diving team swept the individual races and both relays against Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday, beating the Commodores 146-105. It was the Crimson Tide's second meet in two days after opening Southeastern Conference competition against Georgia in Birmingham on Friday.

Sophomore Rhyan White once again won both backstroke events, boosting her two-day individual win total to five, while classmate Kensey McMahon swept the distance freestyle events for the second meet in a row after winning the 500 and 1,000 freestyles against the Dogs and Commodores.

In all, Alabama won nine events against Georgia and 14 against Vanderbilt for a total of 23 across the two meets. Against Vanderbilt, Alabama took the top-two spots in eight races, including both relays.

HEAD COACH COLEY STICKELS SAID

"Having two meets in two days in two different cities can be a challenge, but our ladies kept their focus and swam hard today, giving us two good days of competition. We looked at back to back meets as a prelims/finals scenario that we will ultimately face later on during championship season. From here, we just need to keep our momentum moving in the right direction and continue to train hard as we move forward through the season."
