Columbia Hosts Yale Friday as Ivy Action Continues

2019-20 Schedule

The Lions women's swimming and diving program will host the Yale Bulldogs on Friday inside Uris Natatorium at 5 p.m.

NEW YORK — After an Ivy League opening win last weekend, the Columbia women's swimming and diving team returns to Percy Uris Natatorium on Friday to face another league foe, Yale. The meet is slated to begin at 5 p.m. ET.

The Lions opened up the 2019-20 campaign last Friday, earning a convincing 195-105 victory over the visiting Penn Quakers. Columbia won 12-of-16 events in the meet, using seven different individual event winners as well as clocking top times in both relay events.

Against Penn, Columbia had three double winners as first-year Olivia Jubin won both the 200 freestyle (1:51.26) and 500 free (4:58.71), first-year Karen Liu won both the 200 butterfly (2:02.03) and 200 IM (2:03.34) and senior captain Helen Wojdylo won both the breaststroke events, first taking the 100 breast at 1:03.64 before claiming the 200 breast with a dual-meet-best time of 2:19.85. The Lions also swept the diving events as first-year Livy Poulin won the 3-meter springboard (267.30) and sophomore Briget Rosendahl claimed first on 1-meter (270.00).

SCOUTING YALE
The Bulldogs are 2-0 on the season after posting victories over MIT and Brown last weekend. Yale finished the 2018-19 season with a spotless 10-0 record in dual meets and went on to finish second at the Ivy League Championships.

Columbia is looking for its first win in the series since the 2013-14 season in which the Lions posted an undefeated 7-0 mark in Ivy duals.

ON DECK
The Lions will round out their fall dual meet schedule at home against Harvard on Friday, Nov. 22 at noon before finishing up 2019 at the Rutgers Invitational, Dec. 4-8.
