FULL RESULTS

PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton University men's & women's swimming & divings teams hosted their first meet inside DeNunzio Pool Friday afternoon and picked up a pair of victories over Villanova University.

Princeton's men overcame the Wildcats 226-74 and its women defeated Villanova 247-53. The Tigers also earned first-place finishes in 30 out of the 32 events contested.

Princeton's divers also performed strongly. Freshman Matthew Chao achieved his NCAA zone qualifying score in the 3-meter event with a 320.55, meaning all four men and all four women are now qualified to compete at the NCAA Zone A Championships at West Virginia University in March. This is the second-straight year all of Princeton's divers have achieved their qualification.

Katrin Lewis also moved into the top-10 all-time on the 1-meter board in dual meets, as her score of 287.33 has her ranked ninth.
