EASTON, Pa. — Different year, same story for the Lehigh women's swimming and diving team against Lafayette on Friday night, as the Mountain Hawks won their 11th straight meet over the Leopards, 224-68.

Patriot League Female Swimmer of the Week Ann Foley continued to dominate in the pool with more outstanding performances on Friday night. She took home first place honors in the 200 free with a time of 1:48.14, beating out teammates Courtney Ferreira and Samantha Gallego. Foley also won the 50 free event with a time of 23.39. Payton Miles came in second with a 23.68, while Evie Gieseman finished third at 24.19.

Foley also came through with a victory in the 100 free at 50.45, while Payton Miles finished second at 51.67 and Olivia Giampietro finished third with a time of 52.18.

Ferriera made history on Friday night, the only member of both men's and women's teams to capture a school record, with her performance in the 100 IM, a 57.50, beating Julianne Koch's record of 58.39 set in 2017.

Tori Connolly won the 1000 free event with a time of 10:14.51, good enough to break the Weinstein Natatorium pool record set by Lehigh's Allison Rolish in 2006.

The 200 medley relay team of Anna Francisco, Allison Morel, Malia Wolf and Miles led off the entire meet with a victory to a time of 1:44.07, a Lehigh-Lafayette meet record. Francisco also broke the meet record for the 50 backstroke after leading off for the event.

In addition to the other stellar nights from many individuals, senior diver Rayna Smilowitz qualified for the NCAA Diving Zone Championships in the one-meter dive. Her 266.08 was good enough for second place in the event.

The women's win is their fifth straight on the season, improving Lehigh's season record to 5-1 on the year.

Next up for Lehigh is the U.S. Winter National Championships in Greensboro, N.C. with Walker Wilson competing in the 50 freestyle event. The team will commence again on Dec. 5 at Emmaus High School against La Salle.
