DAVIE, FLA. – Florida Southern got individual wins from four different swimmers and a school record from senior Kourtney Gavin, but the 21st-ranked Moccasins fell to 3rd-ranked Nova Southeastern 155-107 Saturday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Gavin broke her own school record in the 200-butterfly with a time of 2:08.48, but it was not the race she won on Saturday. After finishing second in the 200, she went on to win the 100-fly by 0.77 seconds over Caroline Oster. It was one of two races in which the Moccasins took the first, third and fourth positions for a total of 14 points. Sophomores Krystal Karas and Rachel Ringley were the third- and fourth-place swimmers in the 100-fly.
• The Moccasins also took first, third and fourth in the 200-backstroke, which was won by junior Peyton Breault by 0.43 seconds over Nova's Courtney DeVeny. Taking third and fourth were freshman Kyra Fraser and senior Leah Haney.
• Earlier in the meet, Fraser won the 100-backstroke by 0.89 seconds over the Sharks' Jordan Shows. Freshman Mallary Meyer came in third in that race.
• Florida Southern's fourth win on Saturday came in the final individual race, where junior Jacinda Whittenburg took first in the 200-IM. Her time of 2:08.40 was 1.41 seconds faster than DeVeny.
• In addition to her third-place finish in the 200-butterfly, Karas gave the Moccasins a pair of seconds in the 50-free and 100-free. The 50-freestyle race also saw sophomore Rebeka Dics finish third and junior Britt Aubley place fourth.
• Whittenburg and sophomore Haley DeGrace were the Moccasins' best swimmers in the two breaststroke events. DeGrace was second and Whittenburg third in the 100, and their positions were reversed in the 200 later in the day.
• Breault added a second-place finish in the 500-free to her win in the 200-back. She was also the Mocs' highest finisher in the 200-free where she was fourth.
• Senior Madi Rowan was the Mocs' best swimmer in the 1,000-free.
• Florida Southern was second in the 400-medley relay (Breault, Whittenburg, Karas and Dics), and the 200-freestyle relay (Meyer, Aubley, junior Allie Kaufmann and Ringley).

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

• Florida Southern and Nova Southeastern finished first and second respectively at last year's Sunshine State Conference Championships, though the Sharks won the head-to-head dual meet in January.
• Gavin topped her previous school record in the 200-butterfly by exactly half a second. She'd set that mark at the SSC Championships in 2015.

UP NEXT:

Florida Southern will compete in its final dual meet of the season next Friday (Jan. 20) when it hosts defending junior college national champion Indian River State at 2 p.m.
