Fellow underclassman, freshman Ashlyn King, took sixth place with a score of 407 points after finishing sixth (399.55) in the preliminaries.
"It was a great way for NYU to begin the event," said Diving Coach Todd Kolean. "To have Ashlyn and Carmen finish in the top six and then to have Carmen win it all in the finals was awesome. She was focused and as good as I've ever seen her."
