W&L, HOLLINS TAKE HONORS IN SWIMMING

Washington and Lee's Rebekah Prince has been named swimmer of the year and Hollins' Lynda Calkins is coach of the year in balloting by Old Dominion Athletic Conference women's coaches.

W&L, which won the conference championship, had nine athletes on the All-ODAC team.

Joining Prince, a two-time NCAA Division III All-American, on the squad were teammates Brandi Henderson, Susan Fisher, Taryn Kiekow, Laura Marshall, Jen Miller, Anne Spencer, Megan Wiedmaier and Bligh Wollner. Hollins was represented by Kat Horton and Ginger Cofield.

Cathy Cummings of Sweet Briar and Anne Rumney and Vanessa Higbee of Randolph-Macon Woman's College complete the squad.

In other sports in the region:

Virginia scored four runs in the third inning and breezed to a 5-1 victory over VMI in a baseball game in Lexington.

Seth Greisinger (2-1) pitched a five-hitter and struck out eight to pick up the victory. The Cavaliers (3-6) used doubles by former Jefferson Forest standout Ryan Gilleland, Adam Robinson and Pat Bransford to score those third-inning runs against VMI's W.G. Smith (0-1). R.J. Slutz had an RBI single in the inning. Gilleland and Justin Counts had two hits each to lead the Cavs.

The Virginia Tech men's lacrosse club will visit Roanoke College at 3:30 p.m. today as the season opens for area college teams.

Washington and Lee visits Mary Washington for a 3 p.m. men's game, while Roanoke College's women meet a Japanese all-star team at 4 p.m. at Hollins.
