EMMAUS, Pa. — There really isn't a more dominant team around right now than the Lehigh women's swimming and diving team, who picked up their sixth straight victory on the season with a 164-108 win over La Salle at Emmaus High School Wednesday night. With the win, the Mountain Hawks improve to 6-1 on the year.
Â
The women opened up the meet with a 1-2-3 finish in the 200 medley relay with the team of Anna Francisco, Allison Morel, Olivia Giampietro and Payton Miles coming out on top with a time of 1:47.70.
Â
Ann Foley picked up where she left off by taking the win in the 200 free with a 1:51.96. Courtney Ferreira finished second with a 1:54.97.
Â
Francisco got the win in the 100 back with a time of 58.20, finishing just ahead of teammate Nicole Shek, who finished with a 58.99.
Â
Miles got the surprising nod in the 50 free, beating out Foley who had been all over these particular events in the last couple weeks. Miles finished the event with a 23.99 to Foley's 24.29. She also got the best of Foley in the 100 free, taking the event with a time of 52.51.
Â
Shek got the win in the 200 back with her time of 2:07.23. The 500 free was won by Tori Connolly, who swam to a time of 5:18.08 for the win.
Â
The women closed out the meet with a win in the 400 free relay, as Foley, Miles, Giampietro and Ferreira finished in first with a 3:35.10.
Â
On the diving side, Megan Fennell got the victory in the one-meter dive with her score of 249.38.
Â
"We have exams, we have a little bit of a layover and then we have three weeks of training where we are all just focusing on keeping the energy up and getting these swimmers ready for Patriot Leagues," said head coach Rob Herb.
Â
The women are now on a quest to start the season 7-1 for the first time since the 1999-00 season. Lehigh will have a little bit of time to head home for winter break before the team hosts Army West Point on Jan. 11 at Jacobs Pool for Senior Night.
