WORCESTER, Mass. – The Bucknell women's swimming & diving team opened its season with a 175-117 victory over Holy Cross on Friday at the Hart Center.
The Bison (1-0, 1-0 PL) moved to 6-0 all-time against the Crusaders (0-2, 0-1 PL) on the strength of 11 individual victories and one relay win.
Remarkably, 11 different Bison accounted for their team's individual first-place showings. Junior Alexandra Ritorto, sophomores Abby Doss and Esme Hunter and first years Gina Hinthorn and Kendall Luecke each won her first collegiate event at Holy Cross.
Maddie Hartigan broke a Hart Center Pool record in the 100 butterfly, timing in at 57.74. Meghan Taner, Catherine Craig, Alexis Faria and Sophia Donati teamed for a first-place finish in the 200 medley relay behind a pool-record time of 1:48.19.
The Bison went 1-2-3 in the 200 freestyle and the 200 medley relay. With the meet well in hand, they swam the 100 butterfly, 200 IM and 200 freestyle relay as exhibitions.
Bucknell returns to the pool tomorrow with a 1:30 p.m. meet at Boston University.
