From NYU Athletics

The New York University women's swimming & diving team defeated Springfield College on Saturday, January 14, at the Linkletter Natatorium in Springfield, MA.

The Violets (7-0) earned their 25th consecutive dual meet victory as they defeated the Pride (7-5) by a score of 189-108.

Julien Zhu and Honore Collins were each double-winners on Saturday. Zhu took first in the 200-yard freestyle (1:58.42) and the 200-yard backstroke (2:12.25), while Collins was victorious in the 50-yard freestyle (25.48) and the 100-yard butterfly (59.29). 

"At this time of the year, it's important to swim on back-to-back days," said Head Coach Trevor Miele, referencing yesterday's tri-meet against Johns Hopkins and MIT. "I think the team did well today, especially after such an emotional meet yesterday."

On the diving boards, Carmen White won both the one-meter (304.49) and the three-meter (285.98) competitions.

"This was probably our best meet from top to bottom this year," said Diving Coach Todd Kolean. "They've worked hard all year and it's definitely showing."
