RESULTS

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The Seton Hall women's swimming & diving team was in control from the outset Friday evening and earned a 152.5-98.5 victory over visiting Iona in a non-league dual meet at Arthur E. Imperatore Natatorium inside Regan Rec Center in the team's first competition in over a month.

The quartet of sophomore Aitana Robinson (London, Ontario), junior Sydney Simpson (Tallahassee, Fla.), senior Tessa Lindner (Sun Prairie, Wisc.) and freshman Clara Capone (West Hartford, Conn.) set the tone by winning the 200-yard medley relay in 1:51.00 in the opening race, more than 10 seconds ahead of the top Iona squad.

Freshman Sara Ouellette (Granby, Conn.) and senior Cece Henry (St. Charles, Mo.) finished one-two in the 200 fly with respective times of 2:12.32 and 2:13.13. Ouellette also won the 500 free after touching in 5:10.97.

Capone took first in the 50 free in 24.94, and Lindner touched right behind her in 24.12. Capone also won the 200 free with a time of 1:59.00

Freshman Jordan Decker (Mason, Ohio) (1:08.91), Sydney Simpson (1:10.08), junior Courtney Regan (Southbury, Conn.) (1:12.23) and senior Kelsey Buonaiuto (Miller Place, N.Y.) (1:12.40) swept the top four spots in the 100 breaststroke.

Senior Melody Bush (Guelph, Ontario) won the 100 back in 59.38 and Robinson won the 200 backstroke in 2:10.70. Freshman Grace Endersby (Caldwell, N.J.) took home the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:27.65.

"I'm very pleased coming off a very heavy week of training," said head coach Ron Farina. "It's the first time we've been in the water to race in nearly two months. It's good for them to work the kinks out as we gear up for the homestretch."

Looking ahead, The Hall will travel to Rider next Friday for a 4:00 p.m. dual meet with the Broncs.
