BALTIMORE, Md. – The Bucknell women's swimming & diving team fell 174-126 to Loyola at Mangione Aquatic Center on Saturday. Loyola won 10 of 16 events, including both relays, and took the top two places in six events. Six Bison earned first-place finishes, including two by Sydney Dettmann. The Bison moved to 3-3 on the season with the loss.
"Loyola was prepared and had a great meet. We competed well in many place, but it was clear we need to improve more in the coming months," said head coach Dan Schinnerer.
Dettmann won both the 200 butterfly (2:05.12) and the 500 freestyle (5:06.77) to contribute 18 points towards the Bucknell effort, and she swam the second leg of the runner-up 400 freestyle relay team.
The Bison swept the diving portion of the meet and went 1-2-3 on the 3-meter board. Meghan Catherwood took first on the 1-meter (252.00), and Kate Gottwald placed first in the 3-meter (250.28). Gottwald was followed by Catherwood in second and Reggie Frias in third on the 3-meter.
Both Rylie Giles and Kyla Kelly added first-place finishes for Bucknell. Kelly won the 200 IM (2:05.98) and took fourth twice to score 13 points. Giles won the 200 freestyle (1:53.18) and placed fifth twice. She was also a member of the second-place 400 freestyle relay team.
In addition to the divers and the 400 freestyle relay, Bucknell saw three others post runner-up finishes. Talia Bugel touched the wall second in the 100 backstroke (58.19), and Emma Feld placed second in the 200 backstroke (2:03.87). Both came in just behind reigning Patriot League Female Swimmer of the Week Lily Mead. Abby Doss added a second-place spot in the 200 breaststroke (2:24.34). The Bison took third place eight times.
Bucknell is off over the next two weeks before returning to competition at Kinney Natatorium the first weekend of December for its three-day Invitational.
