Cape Central 100Oakville 82

ST. LOUIS -- Cape Central evened its record at 3-3 by beating Oakville.

Leading by only eight points late in the meet, the Tigers took a first and a second place in the last event -- the 400 freestyle relay -- to pull away.

"We needed to win a good, close meet and we did," said Cape Central coach Dayna Powell.

Central recorded five firsts on the day and received some much-needed point support from less experienced swimmers, particularly in the medley and 400 freestyle relays.
