NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee diving team again posted a solid effort at the Notre Dame Diving Invitational Friday night, earning four top-six finishes in the two events.

She finished just off the pace of second-place finisher Jessica Leong of Southern Illinois (282.00 points). Both divers finished behind Kelsey Patterson of Utah's 305.30 points. Blemberg was one of three Panther women to earn a place in the finals.
