The women’s swimming and diving team (4-3, 2-4 Ivy) will travel to Hanover, N.H. this Saturday to compete in its final dual meet of the season against Ivy rival Dartmouth.
In their last dual meet, the Lions lost to Princeton at Uris Pool last Friday, 104-196. The meet saw two strong performances by the diving team, especially by freshman diver Liana Diamond, who finished second in the 3m and 1m events.
The Big Green, however, are 9-5 for the season and 2-3 in the Ivies, having had their most recent Ivy matchup against Princeton as well and fallen 106.5-131.5.
When the Light Blue faced the Big Green last season, they were victorious, topping Dartmouth 179-119. During the competition, the Lions took the top three spots in both the 500 freestyle, with Paige Endsley taking first, and the 100 backstroke, where Delghi Urubshurow took the top spot. In the 50 freestyle, Columbians Ashley MacLean and Bunge Okeyo had an unlikely finish in which they hit the wall simultaneously, sharing first place with a time of 24.87.
The meet against Dartmouth will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday. After this final dual meet of the season, the Lions will be looking towards the Ivy League Championships, which will be held at Princeton from Feb. 24 to 26.
