Mountain Hawk women visit undefeated Loyola on Saturday

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Lehigh's women's swimming and diving team is competing as well as expected to begin the 2018-19 campaign. The Mountain Hawks are 3-1 and are coming off back-to-back home victories last weekend at home against West Chester last Friday and Rider last Saturday.
 
On Saturday, Lehigh squares off with Loyola in an attempt to build momentum from last weekend.
 
Once again, the 200 yard medley relay highlighted the weekend, as the team of Anna Francisco, Malia Wolf, Liz Olszewski and Payton Miles finished with a first place finish of 1:48.80 against Rider.
 
The 1,000-yard freestyle event was won by Tori Connolly at 10:43.88, while Miles trumped Connolly in the 200 yard freestyle with a time of 1:56.10.
 
Allison Morel won the 100 yard breaststroke event against Rider with a time of 1:09.04 and Sarah Horne was victorious in the 200 yard butterfly at 2:07.63.
 
In addition to helping the A-team win the 200 medley relay, Olszewski soared to a time of 2:26.30 in the 200-yard breaststroke to win the event. For her strong performance on Saturday, Olszewski was named a Patriot League Honorable Mention.
 
The 200-yard IM event is in good hands for the Mountain Hawks with Courtney Ferreira coming off a Saturday victory with a time of 2:11.30. The team of Ann Foley, Grace Rogowski, Evie Gieseman and Ferreira won the 400-yard freestyle relay event with a time of 3:37.14.
 
In recent weeks for the 50-yard freestyle event, it's been some combination of Miles or Foley that triumphed in the race. Foley got the best of Miles in the event on Saturday with a winning time of 24.05.
 
Megan Fennell looks to continue her dominant stretch on the diving board after leaving last weekend with two first place finishes in the one-meter dive, good enough to receive honorable mention recognition from the Patriot League.
 
The Loyola women are currently undefeated with sophomore Megan Dickey winning a pair of events to defeat Lafayette last weekend. Dickey won the 50-free event with a time of 24.74 and took the 100-free with a time of 24.74.
 
Like the men, the Mountain Hawk women are also 5-0 all-time against Loyola. Lehigh is looking to start the season 4-1 for the fourth year in a row.
