CAMBRIDGE, MASS. -- Grace Coyle and Lauren Morford placed first in individual events for the Lions, but Columbia fell to Harvard, 205-92, at Blodgett Pool.
Coyle, a senior, scored 273.90 to take first in the one-meter dive. Classmate Teresa Herrmann finished second in the six-competitor event with a total of 261.98. Coyle also finished second on the three-meter board with a total of 294.30.
In the swim events, Morford won the 1000-yd. freestyle for the second time this weekend; she had placed first in the 1000 and 500 Friday vs. Yale. This afternoon, she swam a time of 10:17.09.
Said head coach Diana Caskey, "We swam fast in our events and maintained our enthusiasm against an opponent that we knew going in was going to be stong and deep."
