East Carolina's freshmen duo of Megan Pulaski and Christie Icenhower swept the Conference USA Swimmer and Diver of the Week accolades, respectively, for their recent performances. The two, whose collegiate honors are firsts for both, helped their Pirate squad finish the 2004-05 regular season with a 168-76 victory over UNC-Wilmington last Saturday in the Minges Aquatic Center.

Pulaski shattered her own 1,000-yard freestyle record last weekend to lead ECU to an overall 7-2 record for the regular season. Pulaski posted wins in the 1,000-yard free with a time of 10:13.22, which broke her previous record by more than five seconds, and the 500 free (5:03.72). Pulaski owns school records in the 500-yard free (4:55.41) and 1,000-yard free (10:13.22). The freshman's time in the 1,000 free also set the Minges Natatorium pool record.
