HARRISONBURG, Va., Jan. 20, 2007 - Senior Allison Keel (Mechanicsville, Va./Atlee) and freshman Amanda Hauck (Woodbridge, Va./Forest Park) each won two individual events and swam on two winning relays as James Madison University topped Old Dominion University 171.5-128.5 in a Colonial Athletic Association women's swimming and diving meet on Saturday in Savage Natatorium.

JMU earned its first victory of the season and improved to 1-6 overall and 1-4 in the CAA.

Hauck and Keel teamed with sophomores Nancy Richardson (Centreville, Va./Westfield) and Laura Ginish (Lincoln, R.I./Lincoln) to take first place in the 200 yard medley relay. The group's time was a season best for JMU. The duo later teamed with freshman Julie Stefanski (Westerly, R.I./Westerly) and sophomore Meghan Heil (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) to claim the 400-yard freestyle in 3:36.89.

Junior diver Ali Miller (Stafford, Va./Brooke Point) won both the one-meter and three-meter events for the Dukes. She set JMU season-best marks in both with scores of 234.3 and 252.3 respectively.
