SCHUYLKILL HAVEN — The Pottsville girls were down, but not out.

Trailing by 10 points with three events left, the Crimson Tide rallied to upend Schuylkill Haven 86-81 in a Schuylkill League girls’ swimming dual meet Thursday evening.

In the final event, the 400 freestyle relay, the team of Adalia LaSelva, Jillian Horvath, Martinko and Gianna LaSelva provided a crucial victory and Pottsville’s B relay placed second to outscore Haven 12-2 and complete the comeback.

Pottsville (9-6, 7-5 SL) picked up individual victories from Gianna LaSelva (200 free, 100 back), Adalia LaSelva (100 fly) and Martinko (100 breast). The Tide also picked up two relay victories as well.
