Princeton Rolls Past Rutgers In Home Opener
November 11, 2023 | Women's Swimming and Diving
Abby Brethauer has been on the winning end of swimming and diving meets in DeNunzio Pool before. This one had to feel a little different.
The Princeton women defeated Rutgers 191.5-108.5 Saturday afternoon at DeNuzio, giving Brethauer her first home win as the team's head coach, after she spent two years as an assistant with the Tiger men. The win improved her overall record as the women's head coach to 3-0.
Heidi Smithwick ended the day by swimming the anchor leg of Princeton's winning 200 free relay, after she had won the 50 free and 200 and finished second in the 100 butterfly earlier in the day. The sophomore from Florida led a 1-2-3 finish by Princeton in the 50 free, followed by Veronique Rossouw and Elzbieta Noble, who along with Sabrina Johnson (who was on the winning 200 medley relay to start the day) joined Smithwick in the 200 free relay.
Eleanor Sun and Dakota Tucker finished 1-2 in the 200 IM, and Tucker and Emily Appleton did likewise in the 500 free. Princeton had a 1-2-3 finish in the 200 backstroke, with Grace Black, Margaux McDonald and Isabella Korbly.
The 200 medley relay team was Alexa Pappas, Eliza Brown, Edie Simecek and Johnson. Ellie Marquardt followed that by taking the 1,000 freestyle, followed by teammate Megan Reich. Smithwick's first win came in the third event, the 200 free, in which Caroline Lewitt came in second.
Princeton's next meet is this Saturday, Nov. 18, when Penn and Cornell will be in DeNunzio.
