Feudale Feted By North Eastern Athletic Conference

GANSEVOORT, N.Y. – With her team-leading performance this past weekend against Utica College, freshman Hilary Feudale (Coal Township, Pa.) was selected as the North Eastern Athletic Conference Women's Swimming Student-Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced Monday. Feudale and the Express posted a 65-57 victory over the Pioneers this past Saturday.

Feudale, a freshman, made appearances in four events for the Express on Saturday, finishing first in all but one event while contributing to a total of 21 points in the team's victory. Feudale set a personal record in the 100-yard backstroke, posting a time of 1:08.35 to rank her fourth all-time in program history in that event.

She also claimed first place in the Women's 50 Yard Freestyle (0:28.57) and second in the Women's 200 Yard Backstroke (2:34.00), trailing the event leader by just greater than one second in the latter event. In relay competition, Feudale helped her team take first place in the Women's 200 Yard Medley Relay with an overall time of 2:05.42.

The selection of Feudale by the NEAC is her second career conference award nod, having also received the award earlier this season on Oct. 22. For a complete list of award recipients, click here.
