San José, Calif. --- The San José State University women's swimming team recognized four seniors and celebrated their sixth consecutive dual meet in a row after defeating the University of Nevada (5-4).

In their last home meet of the season, Spartans (6-2) won 10 events against Nevada securing the 156-140 win against the Wolfpack.

"I couldn't be happier with our team's performance today. Nevada is a tremendous team and we knew we were going to have our work cut out for us," said head coach Sage Hopkins. "We had to swim our best swimming of the year and we did that. We are very proud of the total team performance."

Seniors Ashlyn Acosta, Darcie Anderson, Taylor Curado, and Erika Harvey each had first place finishes following Senior Day festivities.

Acosta had two individual wins in the 100 and 200 fly with times of 55.50 and 2:02.28, respectively.

Anderson's victory came in the 100 breast, placing first with a time of 1:03.97. She also teamed up with Acosta, Michaela McLean, and Alysha Bush in the winning 200 medley relay.

Erika Harvey placed first in the 50 free with a time of 23.65 and teamed up with Curado, Riley Spitser and Bush in the 400 free relay.

"A goal of ours this season as a team has been to make sure that no matter what is happening in the meet that we stay strong both mentally and emotionally and that we are there for each other throughout the whole meet," said Curado. "Individually people are looking really good and we are going into the most important part of our season and we are in a really good spot."

Other individual first-place finishers for the Spartans were McLean in the 100 back, Bush in the 100 free, and Spitser in the 500 free.

The Spartans travel to Fresno, Calif. on Saturday, February 2, as they compete against Fresno State in their last dual meet of the season. The meet begins at 12:00 p.m. (PT) at the Aquatics Center on the Fresno State Campus.
