BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh women's swimming and diving team topped Patriot League foe Loyola on Saturday in impressive fashion, beating the Greyhounds 185-113 at Jacobs Pool. The Mountain Hawks took first in 11-of-16 events, including a pair of first-place finishes from four individuals – senior Payton Miles, junior Megan Fennell and freshmen Danielle Prekop and Sarah Hardy. Miles was also on the 200 free relay team that captured first.
Â
One week after winning her first collegiate race at Rider, the 500 free, Prekop captured first in both the 1,000 free (10:35.24) and 500 free (5:11.63). The Mountain Hawks finished top three in the 500 free, with seniors Tori Connolly (5:12.73) and Samantha Gallego (5:13.95) following closely behind Prekop.
Â
Miles came in first in the 50 free (23.59) and 100 free (51.36). The top three finishers in the 100 free were all from Lehigh, with Miles followed by Foley (52.46) and Judge (52.87). Meanwhile, Miles' 200 free relay team, also consisting of juniors Ann Foley, Olivia Giampietro and Evie Gieseman, took first in 1:36.04. Hardy also placed first in two events, the 200 butterfly (2:05.95) and 400 IM (4:31.84).
Â
Others who won individual events on Saturday included freshman Megan Judge in the 200 free (1:53.65) and freshman Sophia Poeta in the 200 backstroke (2:06.14). The 200 free was another event that saw the Mountain Hawks finish 1-2-3, with Judge followed by Foley (1:55.02) and Gallego (1:56.40).
Â
Fennell enjoyed a strong day diving as well, taking first in both the 1-meter (272.54) and 3-meter (278.10).
Â
Now 5-0 on the year and 7-0 all-time vs. the Greyhounds, the Mountain Hawks return to action on Friday, Nov. 22 when they host Lafayette at 6 p.m.
