Women's Swimming/Diving Heads To Philadelphia, Will Open Ivy Season Saturday vs Cornell, Penn
November 16, 2017 | Women's Swimming and Diving
After testing themselves last weekend against a pair of Top-20 opponents, the Princeton women's swimming and diving team can begin to focus on the 2017-18 Ivy League season this weekend when it heads to Sheerr Pool in Philadelphia for a tri-meet against both Cornell and Penn. The diving portion begins at 12:30, while swimming events begin at 2 pm.
Princeton will look to duplicate its results from last season, when the Tigers left Ithaca with wins of 220.5-79.5 over Cornell and 191-109 over Penn. Christie Chong and Gianna Garcia were both double winners in their Ivy League debuts, which helped the Tigers win 11 of 16 events overall.
The Tigers could see repeat performances this weekend from their newest freshmen, who have gotten off to an impressive start this season. Both Jenny Ma and Courtney Tseng were double winners when Princeton opened the season with victories over both Miami and Nova Southeastern, while Regan Barney also won an event to cap their Florida trip.
Princeton tested itself last weekend against a pair of Top-20 opponents, a meet that head coach Bret Lundgaard believes will only help the team moving forward. There were several strong performances from the weekend, including strong races by juniors Joanna Curry and Isabel Reis, as well as Top-5 finishes from freshman divers Sophia Peifer and Sine Scribbick.
Penn is 1-1 on the season, which includes a thrilling 152.5-147.5 victory over Columbia in New York City during both teams' Ivy League opener. Cornell is also 1-1 on the season, though it dropped its Ivy opener 199-96 to Harvard.
