SMITHFIELD, R.I. — The Bryant University women's swimming and diving team hosted Dartmouth College on Friday, October 23, at the Chace Athletic Center.
 

Coach Cameron's Comments:

"I thought we had a really strong day across the board. Our divers got things started on the right foot earlier in the day and set the tone for a great night of competition. The energy in the pool was fantastic, and it was a fun atmosphere for our athletes to compete in. Mixing up the events allowed us to step outside our comfort zones, which is always a good thing, and gave our athletes a chance to challenge themselves in different ways. The skins races were especially exciting and brought a lot of energy to the meet. Jocie, Clara and Sofi came away with some big wins, which was great to see. Overall, it was a really fun day of competition, and I loved the enthusiasm our team brought to the pool."

• Clara Steen took first in the 50 backstroke skins final with a time of 27.56 and finished second in the 50 butterfly skins final (27.04).

• Jocie Niemczyk claimed first in the 50 breaststroke skins final (29.57) and finished second in the 200 IM (2:12.51).
