NYU Earns Victory over TCNJ

From NYU Athletics

The New York University women's swimming & diving team defeated The College of New Jersey (194-98) on Saturday, November 15, in Ewing, NJ.

Freshman diver Austin Campitelli notched her second career win and first-career NCAA-qualifying score with a 267.5 total in the three-meter dive. 

"Today was a great day for the divers," said Diving Coach Scott Donie. "We're looking forward to getting back to work as we prepare for ECAC's."

The Violets are off to a 6-0 start this season, their best since the 2009-10 season.

Highlights:

- Freshman Isabelle Kitze won the 100-yard backstroke (1:51.15) and the 100-yard freestyle (59.65).

- Sophomore Elise Gibbs was part of the winning 200-yard medley relay team and earned an individual victory in the 50-yard freestyle (24.85).

- Freshman Yui Umezawa swam the first leg of the winning 200-yard medley relay and earned an individual victory in the 200-yard backstroke (2:13.79).

- Sophomore co-captain Michelle Kierencew won the 100-yard backstroke (1:07.71) and finished second in the 200-yard backstroke (2:15.73).

"I am really happy with our results. As we have been doing all year long, we came to TCNJ ready to race, and we put up some solid performances against a good TCNJ team," said Head Coach Trevor Miele. "We still have a few more weeks of hard practice before we focus on swimming fast at ECAC Championships."
