    Youngstown -- Senior Lena Arens won the 50- and 100-yard freestyles while Erin Carter picked up wins in the 100 butterfly and the 200 individual medley in a 169.5-121.5 loss to the Akron Zips on Saturday afternoon at the Beeghly Natatorium.
    The Zips, who were ranked second in the most recent CollegeSwimming.com Division I Mid-Major Power Rankings, got off to an early lead by winning the first six events before Arens' victory in the 50 free.

    Kalyn Leveto provided the only other victory of the day for the Penguins with a first-place score of 246.50 in 3-meter diving. She added a second-place finish in one-meter diving.
    The tandem of Becky Bertuzzi, Katy Malys, Missy Wiese and Arens picked up a win in the 400 freestyle relay.
