2/6/2007 - (Bronx, NY) - Freshman Michelle Cabahug (Queens Village, NY/St. Francis Prep) took first place in he 50 and 100-Yard Backstroke, and senior Maggie McGowan (Brooklyn, NY/St. Savior) won both Breaststroke events as the Mount Saint Vincent Women's Swimming team improved to 6-3 for the 2006-07 season with a commanding 146-86 win over Maritime College on Tuesday night during a meet at Maritime College. The win assures the Mount of an above .500 finish heading into Saturday's 2006-07 finale when the Dolphins compete with Mount Saint Mary and Old Westbury at Mount Saint Mary.

From there, Mount Saint Vincent captured first place in eight of the 14 events, and six second-place finishes to earn the win. Cabahug won the 500-Yard Backstroke in 33.66, nearly seven seconds ahead of her nearest competitor, and then breezed through the 100-Yard Backstroke in 1:17, nearly a whopping 23 seconds ahead of the event's runner-up. McGowan was equally dominant, winning the 50-Yard Breaststroke in 39.02 and the 100-Yard Breaststroke in 1:27.79.
