GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.— Led by three individual wins by junior Danielle Jefferies, two distance freestyle victories by freshman Isabelle Hansson and two breaststroke wins by sophomore Sam White, the nation's 12^th-ranked Colorado Mesa University women's swimming team dominated Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rival Western State Colorado University, 197-65 in a conference dual on Friday afternoon here in the El Pomar Natatorium.
 
The Mavericks won all but two of the 14 scored events and had seven 1-2-3 swimming sweeps, including in each of the final four events of the swimming program to remain a perfect 5-0 in dual meets against RMAC foes this season.   The Mavericks had also claimed a 180-81 win over the Mountaineers on Oct. 28 in Gunnison.
 
Western, which received wins by RMAC Preseason Swimmer of the Year Randi Yarnell in 100 and 200-yard freestyles, dropped to 1-2 with both losses coming to the Mavericks.
 
Meanwhile, the Mavericks also picked up a national qualifying mark on the 1-meter diving board as all-American and RMAC Preseason Diver of the Year Kelsey Vreeman won the non-scored, 11-dive event with 451.18 points, easily eclipsing the national qualifying standard of 390 points.  Natalya Dahlke (375.60), Stefany Busch (362.17) and Kaylee Eakman (359.77) also competed and were not far off the qualifying standard.
 
Jefferies, a native of Kihei, Hawai'i and a transfer from Division I LIU Brooklyn, won the 200 butterfly (2:08.73), 100 fly (57.52) and 200 individual medley (2:10.56), leading CMU sweeps in each.  She also swam the butterfly leg on the Mavericks' 200 medley relay team, which clocked a time of 1:50.17 to open the meet and set the tone.  Maddie Pressler (back), Samantha White (breast) and Megan Sirijariyavat (free) were the other legs on that team.
 
Hansson, who hails from Stockholm, Sweden, then led a 1-2-3 sweep in the 1,000 free with a time of 10:55.32, finishing ahead of Katelin Staab (11:04.59) and Maddie McClain (11:11.50).
 
Sierra Forbord (1:55.77) and Kennedy Bright (1:55.91) then finished less than a second behind Yarnell in the 200 free before Celine Sargis (59.07) and Sarah Stacer (1:02.59) took first and third in the 100 back, respectively.
 
White would claim her first individual win with a time of 1:09.54 in the 100 breast while teammate Haley Fellows was second in 1:11.10.
 
Jefferies then went on to win the 200 fly as Hansson (2:13.04) and Candice Rosen (2:13.35) took second and third, respectively.
 
Sirijariyavat then claimed the 50 free in 24.19 seconds while Natalie Saul touched third in 24.78.
 
After an intermission, Forbord (53.57) and McClain (53.83) finished second and third in the 100 free before Grace Payton re-started the Mavericks' winning ways in the 200 back with a time of 2:08.45.  Stacer (2:13.40) and Hanna Sangfelt (2:19.61) were second and third in that event, respectively.
 
White then won the 200 breast in 2:30.35 as Haley Fellows took second in 2:33.14 before Hansson out-touched McClain in a tight 500 free race, winning in 5:22.04, just 0.22 seconds ahead of McClain, who finished in 5:22.26.  Payton was third in 5:24.20.  That started the run of 1-2-3 sweeps as Jefferies claimed the 100 fly over Sargis (59.83) and Forbord (1:00.06). 
 
Jefferies then came right back after another intermission to win the 200 IM ahead of Bright (2:12.62) and Rosen (2:15.94).
 
The Mavericks then capped the day with a 1-2-3 sweep in the 200 free relay as Sirijariyavat, Forbord, Saul and McClain made up the "A" team, which touched in 1:38.61.
 
The CMU men, ranked 21^st in the latest TYR/CSCAA Division II Poll, also contested an intra-squad scrimmage in conjunction with the women's dual.  Morgan Bean (50 free, 100 fly) and Nico Tscherner (200 back, 200 IM) each won two individual events.  Bean also led-off the winning 200 free relay team.
 
The Mavericks will now enjoy a Thanksgiving weekend break before returning to the El Pomar Natatorium to host the 3-day A3/CMU Invitational starting Thursday, Nov. 30.  That mid-season invitational meet has typically been when the Mavericks start setting numerous NCAA qualifying marks.
