Women's Swimming and Diving | January 20, 2018

NEW YORK, NY - The La Salle swimming and diving team competed with two Atlantic 10 teams, Richmond and Fordham, in a tri-meet on Saturday that will serve as a tune up for the upcoming conference championship. The women were downed against both teams, losing 218-79 to Richmond and 211-84 to host Fordham.

"Today we competed against two A-10 schools in great preparation for the championship," said head coach Jamie Platt. 

Junior swimmer Olivia DiStefano turned an impressive performance for the Explorers. She finished second in the 100 back, finishing in 57.03 seconds. Later in the day, she finished fourth in the 100 free (54.09 seconds). DiStefano was also part of two fourth-place relay teams.

Emily Wolbert took fourth in the 100 fly (2:09.10).

In the dives, senior diver Sydney Szopo placed second in the one meter dive and fourth in the three meter. 

"As we move closer to the championships, we are seeing the small things we have been working on improve," said Platt. "While we aren't ready yet, everything if moving towards peak performance."

The women's team returns home to host Arcadia on Friday at 6:00 PM.
