HARTFORD, Conn. – The Trinity College Women's Swimming and Diving team defeated Wheaton College (Mass.) 196.5-92 in a non-conference meet on Saturday afternoon. The Bantams dominated the Lyons in a strong performance at home.
Before the meet, Trinity honored their eleven seniors—seven from the women's team and four from the men's—recognizing Eva Beiga, Addison Dunham, Bridget Kahan, Julianna Rieker, Isabelle Tagliaferro, Brooke Zurcher, Matthew Brown, Tadija Ciric, Topher Fitzpatrick, and Tudor Ionescu for their contributions to the program.
"I really cannot put into words how blown away I was by our team's performance today," said Head Coach Hannah Hagy. "Everyone has been working incredibly hard these last few weeks, and it's showing. This group is such a joy to coach, and the energy was electric, fueling countless personal bests, lifetime bests, pool records, school records, and even a B-cut. With NESCACs just a few weeks away, I'm feeling confident and excited to see what this team can accomplish!"
