ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – Freshman Dayna Stewart captured the 100-yard butterfly and was part of two winning relay teams as the Elizabethtown College women's swim team handled Drew and FDU-Florham in a double dual Saturday at the Alumni Pool. The Jays defeated Drew 124-69 and cruised past FDU-Florham 161-32.

The pair of wins evened E-town's record at 2-2 this season heading into Monday night's meet against Lebanon Valley.

Stewart came within tenths of matching her season best time in the 100 fly with a 1:05.28. She also handled the fly as the Blue Jays' 200 medley relay team of Bonnie Lisk, Amanda Long, Stewart and Elizabeth Finnegan opened the meet with a team best 1:58.24 to score maximum points against both the Rangers (1-5) and Devils (0-11).

E-town won its second straight even when Jennifer Lakey and Sarah Alps finished 1-2 in the 1000 free. Lakey trimmed a cool 18 seconds off her previous fast time, completing the 40-lap race in 13:02.33.

Though the Blue Jays wouldn't get back in the win column until Stewart's victory in the 100 fly, they got strong performances from multiple swimmers to rack up the points.

Rachel Engelhardt and Megan Anderson finished 2-3 in the 200 free, with Engelhardt dropping almost three seconds (2:06.38). Finnegan and rookie Erika Cole were 2-3 in the 50 free (season best 27.10 for Cole), while Lisk and Karlie Kimball collected a 2-3 finish in the 200 individual medley.

The 2-3 finishes continued with Engelhardt and Joni Fleming padding Elizabethtown's lead in the 100 free. Lisk and Kimball again took second and third in the 100 back, both swimmers setting their quickest times of the season. Lisk clocked in at 1:07.79 and Kimball 1:08.68.

Anderson improved her 500 free time by 10 seconds to win it in 5:52.92 ahead of Drew's Megan Cashin. Stewart, Fleming, Cole and Finnegan closed the meet with a win of more than eight seconds in the 200 free relay.

The Blue Jays will host Lebanon Valley Monday at 6 p.m
