BALTIMORE – The Bucknell women's swimming & diving team routed Loyola (Md.), 230-70, on Friday afternoon at the Mangione Pool at the Fitness & Aquatics Center.
The Bison (7-1, 5-1 PL) won 15 of the 16 events contested en route to their commanding victory over the Greyhounds (3-2, 3-2 PL). Notably, they have posted an incredible 28-3 (21-3 PL) record in dual meets dating back to the 2018-19 campaign; all three of their losses came to reigning Patriot League champion Navy.
Maddie Hartigan won the 50, 200 and 500 freestyle races while also anchoring the first-place 400 freestyle relay team. Meghan Catherwood swept the boards, notably posting Bucknell's 10th-best score in the 3-meter dive (256.72).
Abby Doss (100 & 200 breaststroke), Alexis Faria (100 & 200 butterfly) and Esme Hunter (100 & 200 backstroke) each outraced the field in both races in her respective discipline. Kayla Lichtner (100 freestyle) and Sabrina Vumbacco (1,000 freestyle) rounded out the Bison's individual champions.
Like Hartigan, Doss, Faria, Hunter, Lichtner and Vumbacco were also a member of at least one first-place relay team. Lichtner was the lone Bison to appear on both the champion 200 medley and 400 freestlye relay squads.
Bucknell went 1-2-3 a staggering eight events: the 50 freestyle, 200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 200 breaststroke, 200 butterfly, 1-meter dive, 3-meter dive and 400 freestyle relay.
The Bison return to action tomorrow, hosting Army West Point at 1 p.m. in Kinney Natatorium. Before that dual meet, they will honor their seven members of the class of 2022: Faria, Hartigan, Lindsey Bloom, Meagan Hathaway, Caroline Mayk, Isabella Smith and Meghan Taner.
