WILKES-BARRE, Pa. --- Elizabethtown captured 18 out of 22 events, including all 11 on the women's side, to sweep King's and FDU-Madison in a Middle Atlantic Conference tri-meet on Saturday at King's.

Sarah Klaiber won three events to lead the Blue Jay women to a 133-33 victory over King's and a 133-26 win over FDU-Madison.  Lauren Thomson, Sarah Bradley, Heidi Yoder, Ashley Hendrickson and Lindsay Texter  each chipped in with two wins apiece as the Etown women improved to 11-2 on the season, including ten straight wins.

On the men's side, Brian Serapiglia, Brian Polaski and Jon Fortin were all triple-winners as the Blue Jays (6-5) moved back above the .500-mark with a 95-56 win over King's and a 95-7 decision over FDU-Madison.

Klaiber helped the Blue Jays' 400 medley relay team win the afternoon's first event in a time of 2:07.48.  She then won the 200 individual medley in a time of 2:35.65 and posted a personal season-best time of 1:03.24 while winning the 100 backstroke.  The team of Yoder, Texter, Hendrickson and Bradley capped the day with a season-best time of 1:48.52 in the 200 freestyle relay.
