Because of their lack of depth on the roster, the Lady Bucs were only able to compete in nine of the 11 events.

They wound up dropping an 88-63 decision to the Tigers.

“Our end score really does not show how good our swimmers are,” stated Buckhannon-Upshur head coach Jenny Bennett. “Our team is small in size with only 12 swimmers combined.”

The Lady Bucs will be back in action next Saturday in the Berkeley County Invitational at Shepherd Invitational.
