PRINCETON, N.J. — The Columbia women's swimming and diving team traveled to New Jersey to take on the Princeton Tigers on Friday morning. The Lions were not able to come away with a win, as the Tigers emerged with a 202-98 victory.

Diakova was right behind her in third place with a score of 284.93.
