Last Meeting: Two Smith College divers recorded NCAA Division III Regional qualifying scores as the Lyons defeated the Pioneers, 165-133 on February 7, 2015. CeCe Arrison and Elly Stone each accomplished the feat in the 1 and 3-meter dives. Claire Dudek (Bethesda, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase) claimed the 500-yard freestyle and helped the 400-yard free relay team touch the wall first. 

Mount Holyoke: The Lyons rallied past Simmons College for a 153-140 victory on Senior Day last Saturday, January 30. With the score still tight, the meet came down to the final relay -- the 200-yard free where Mount Holyoke edged out Simmons. Senior Cathleen Pruden won her fifth NEWMAC Swimmer of the Week honor on Monday, following wins in the 1,000-free, 500-free and 200 IM. Pruden then anchored the 200-free relay that claimed victory. 

Smith: Returning to the pool after two weeks off from competition, Smith looks to send out their graduating seniors on a high note. The Pioneers came in fourth at the Seven Sisters Championship at Wellesley January 23-24. On day one, Smith received season best times from 11 out of 20 individual swimmers, while Anna Partridge (Seattle, Wash./Mercer Island) qualified for regionals with her dive on the 1-meter. During the second day of competition, 16 individuals swam to season best times. Over the course of the championship, two team records were threatened -- Desi Stoyanova (Plovdiv, Bulgaria/Plovdiv Language School) in the 400 IM, while Arrison and Stone were within three points of the team record on the 1-meter dive. 

Next Up: The Pioneers will compete at the NEWMAC Championships February 18-21 hosted by MIT.
