A pair of Akron divers will look to qualify for the NCAA's this weekend as junior Amanda Angeloff and sophomore Leeanna Hoover travel to West Lafayette, Ind. to compete in a diving zone "C" hosted by Purdue University.
Hoover's season was highlighted by 20 top-five finishes, including six victories from both boards. Most recently, Hoover nabbed a pair of top-10 finishes at the Mid-American Conference Championships, diving into fourth place from the 3-meter board and ninth place from the 1-meter board. Hoover registered a career-best score of 271.80 against Buffalo in 1-meter diving, accomplishing the same feat from the 3-meter board against Marshall and California University of Pa. (282.53).
Despite being sidelined due to illness in the early portion of the season, Angeloff never missed a beat in her return to competition as the junior finished among the top-10 in each event she competed this season. Angeloff captured first and second place finishes in the 3-meter and 1-meter diving events respectively against Toledo while her 3-meter score of 286.05 was a season best. The junior also swept both boards against Bowling Green, registering a season best score from the 1-meter board (246.45). Angeloff wrapped up the season with a ninth place finish in 3-meter diving and 10th place finish in 1-meter diving. Angeloff added a fifth place finish from the 1-meter board against Oakland and nabbed a seventh place finish at the Zippy Invitational.
