KINGSTON, R.I. -- Junior Haley Nolan (Lowell, Mass.), sophomore Adi Tobias (North Attleboro, Mass.), senior Abbie Grant (Mansfield, Mass.) and junior Danielle Souza (Mansfield, Mass.) set the school record in the 200 medley relay as the Bridgewater State University women's swimming & diving competed during day three of the NEISDA Championships on Saturday at the URI Tootell Aquatic Center.

The foursome posted a finals time of 1:54.81 as well as a preliminary time of 1:56.10 as they eclipsed the previous BSU mark of 1:56.71 set by Erica Robinson, Katrina Scholtz, Jillian Coache and Bryn Morwick in 2007. Nolan, Tobias, Grant and Souza placed seventh in the event at the meet.
