South Orange, N.J. – The Seton Hall women's swimming and diving picked up a victory in its second home meet of the season, taking down Lehigh in a dual meet, 136-105.
Kicking off the meet was Silvia Alessio (Trieste, Italy) once again sweeping both the 1-meter and 3-meter events. Alessio took the win in the 1-meter with a score of 303.52, while her score of 283.72 in the 3-meter also led her to victory. This marks the fourth consecutive meet to open the season in which Alessio has swept the diving events.
In the pool, Amanda Zajdzinski (Mesa, Ariz.) posted a stellar day. Her first of three victories came in the 1000 Free, which she won in a time of 10:25.90 to beat out teammate Madeleine Bachand (Raleigh, N.C.) by just over six seconds. Zajdzinski later added another distance win, this time in the 500 Free with a time of 5:02.14. She capped off the meet by leading off the 200 Free Relay, which she won alongside Madeline Field (Wheaton, Ill.), Leiya Istambouli (Danbury, Conn.) and Natalie Heim (Middletown, N.J.) with a time of 1:36.94.
Much like Zajdzinski, Heim too had an outstanding day by winning three events. In addition to the 200 Free Relay win, Heim touched the wall first in the 200 Free with a time of 1:52.21. She would later take home the top spot in the 100 Free, doing so with a time of 52.01 which was just ahead of teammate Lea Moeller (New Lenox, Ill.).
Moeller would capture a victory of her own on the day, claiming the victory in the 50 Free with a time of 24.14. Also picking up a win on the afternoon was Julie Stampe (Allerod-Birkerod, Denmark), who captured the win in the 100 Back in 58.50.
The Pirates will gear up for their final meet of the fall semester at the WVU Invite in Mortgantown W. Va. from Nov. 16-18.
