The women’s swimming and diving team placed well at the Quad Meet in Rochester, N.Y. this weekend. The team beat two of its three opponents by crushing Brandeis University 311-3 and cruising to a 219-151 victory against Rochester University.
The Violets only loss was against Canisius College, whom they lost to by a narrow margin — 189.5-176.5. Canisius is a Division I program. Tisch junior Emily Doerner won the 100-meter backstroke with an impressive time of 1:00.31.
The men’s swimming and diving team also competed in Rochester this past weekend with similar results. The Violets beat Brandeis by a score of 302-54 and Rochester, 237-130.5. Canisius College edged them by a score of 194-176. CAS junior Jerry Crowley had a banner performance, winning the 50- and 100-meter freestyles as well as the 100-meter butterfly. He was also a part of the winning 400-meter medley relay team, which also consisted of CAS senior Charlie Wu, CAS junior Matt Kendall and Tisch freshman Max Phillips.
Women’s volleyball had a mixed performance at the Kean Tri-Meet in Union, New Jersey this past Saturday, Oct. 26. The Violets lost in an evenly played match against Richard Stockton College in four sets (25-21, 25-22, 25-27, 25-23). The team lost the match despite having a 59-58 advantage in kills. Senior CAS captain and outside hitter Alexandria Mao had 13 digs in the match to go along with 16 kills.
The team bounced back against the host school, Kean University beating them in straight sets by scores of 25-16, 25-20 and 25-19. Sophomore LS setter Emily Moore dished out 29 assists and registered nine digs in the match.
Mao said she was frustrated with the loss against Richard Stockton.
“We didn’t execute plays as well as we had been earlier this season, and it cost us the game,” Mao said. “This next week of practice will definitely be focused on pushing ourselves to play at a higher level and raising our expectations of ourselves.”
The team will play in the New York State Challenge, hosted by the Rochester Institute of Technology, starting this Friday, Nov. 1.
