Princeton Runs Win Streak To Six, Breaks Four Pool Records In Victory At Villanova
January 12, 2018 | Women's Swimming and Diving
COMPLETE RESULTS
Individual fly pool records for both Joanna Curry and Isabel Reis, as well as a pair of relay records, highlighted an impressive opening to 2018 for the Princeton women's swimming and diving team, which improved its win streak to six Friday afternoon with a 172.5-127.5 victory over Villanova at the Pavilion Pool in Philadelphia, Pa.
It was a complete effort for the Tigers, and it began with a strong diving performance earlier in the day. Freshman Sine Scribbick swept both events, including a narrow win over teammate Carolyn MacFarlane on the 1-meter board. Scribbick took that win in 267.07, while MacFarlane finished with 266.62. Scribbick took the 3-meter event with 291.53 points, while Katrin Lewis took second with 264.38.
Princeton started breaking Pavilion Pool records early, as the quartet of Reis, Jenny Ma, Elsa Welshofer and Maddy Veith won the 200 medley relay in 1:43.93. After runner-up finishes by Courtney Tseng (500 free), Alisabeth Marsteller (200 free), and Stephanie Nelson (100 back), Ma got Princeton back in the win column by taking the 100 breast in 1:03.13. That would be the first of two individual wins for Ma, who also claimed the 200 breast in 2:18.51.
Curry broke the pool record in the 200 fly in 2:00.56, with Reis taking runner-up honors in 2:02.21. Reis came back with a big effort in the 100 fly, as she topped Villanova standout Darby Goodwin to win the 100 fly in a pool-record time of 55.85.
Veith, who anchored both of Princeton's record-setting relays, won the 50 free in 23.66, and she fell just short of a double with a second-place finish in the 100 (51.31). Following a second-place effort by Curry in the 200 back, Ma (2:18.51) and Shaelyn Choi (2:21.43) went 1-2 in the 200 breast. Monica McGrath took third in the 500 before Reis' win in the 100 fly, and then Reis came back with a brilliant swim to win the 200 IM in 2:04.02. Teammate Regan Barney finished second in 2:05.35.
The quartet of Lauren McGrath, Marsteller, Monica McGrath, and Veith finished the meet in style with a pool-record time of 3:26.87 in the 400 free relay.
Princeton improved to 8-2 with the win, and will now break for finals before entering the critical final stretch of the season. The Tigers will resume competition with a Senior Day meet against Lehigh on Jan. 27, and then will head to Boston for the annual H-Y-P weekend (Feb. 3-4).
