It took most of Thursday's meet for South Western High's girls to track down Dover, but the Lady Mustangs found strength in numbers.

Placing two of the top three teams in the 200-yard freestyle relay, the Lady Mustangs claimed their first triumph over Dover since 2000 with a 96-88 triumph at Emory H. Markle Intermediate School.

South Western (2-0) grabbed the lead when the foursome of Megan Shannon, Aubrey Krueger, Kristen Zartman and Larissa Danelle won the relay in 1:46.66. The Lady Mustangs then added two points from its third-place team of Alli Meyer, Kaybrea Hood, Allison Farley and Julia Gilchrist.

South Western then cemented its edge by taking three of the top four spots in the 100-yard backstroke, which was led by sophomore Austyn Grim.

Danelle added a win in the 200-yard individual medley while Shannon took the 100 freestyle.

Christy Cashman's two triumphs led Dover.
