GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Freshman Cooper Kearns won three events to lead the women's team while senior Matt Libby captured two events for the men's squad as Gettysburg swept Washington College in the Bullets' home and Centennial Conference opener Saturday afternoon at the Gettysburg College Bullets Pool.

The women's team (2-0, 1-0 CC) finished first in eight of 11 events, including sweeps in the 50-free, 200-IM, 200-back, and 500-free, en route to a 130-62 victory while the men's squad (2-0, 1-0 CC) touched first in nine of 11 events to pick up a 132-67 triumph. The Bullet men swept the 1,000-free, 50-free, 200-IM, 100-free, and 200-back.

Washington women's team (1-1, 1-1 CC) was competing in its second meet of the year while its men's squad was swimming in its season opener.
