Crimson defeat the Lions, 194-96

NEW YORK — The Columbia women's swimming and diving team returned home on Friday morning for an Ivy League dual meet against Harvard at Uris Natatorium. The Lady Lions had some great individual performances, but were ultimately defeated by the Crimson, 194-96.

Columbia opened the meet with a second-place finish in the 400 Medley Relay, as the A team of Shaelyn Shields, Ashley Hong, Ella Chan, and Sally Ma clocked a 3:52.54

In the first individual event of the day, Mia Avansino took second in the 1000 free with a time of 10:18.29. She would go on to place second in the 500 free, clocking in at 5:01.36.

The Lions picked up their first win on the day in the 50 free, when Sally Ma touched the wall first with a time of 23.90.

Columbia went 2-3 in the 200 back, led by Jilly MacNamara (2:03.71), and Lorelai Page (2:04.18).

Chan touched the wall second in the 50 fly, locking in a time of 25.25.

Shields won the last individual event, taking the 400 IM with a time of 4:33.05.

Columbia closed the meet strong, winning the 200 free relay as Lee, Ma, Chan, and Audrey Wolk combined for a 1:35.86.

For the divers, Lera Bondarenko led the way on the 3m boards with a score of 265.20 which was good for fourth place. Lily Sherman claimed fifth on the 1m boards with a score of 271.73 to pace Columbia.

"What a fantastic day," Head Diving Coach Scott Donie said. "It's always great to see where we stand against the top divers in the league. A big breakthrough for Lily earning her first NCAA Zone Qualifying score."
