HAMILTON, New York – The Marist women's swimming and diving team turned in a competitive effort on the road Saturday afternoon, earning several key event wins but ultimately falling 166–134 to Colgate.
 
Senior Gabrielle Norton headlined the day on the boards, sweeping both diving events for the Red Foxes. Norton won the 1-meter with a score of 256.73 before claiming the 3-meter title with 255.08 points. She was joined by a strong Marist diving group that included Lola Cahill, Shannah Gray, and Caitlyn Degise, who all placed in the top five across both events.
 
In the pool, April Avila delivered another standout performance, sweeping the breaststroke events. The junior won the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:04.08 and followed with a victory in the 200-yard breaststroke at 2:23.23. Rae Dodson added valuable points in the 200 breast with a runner-up finish in 2:23.57, giving Marist a 1–2 punch in that event.
 
Freshman Anna Hoskovec paced the mid-distance group, claiming the 200 freestyle in 1:55.64 and adding a second-place effort in the 500 freestyle (5:12.43). Fellow first-year Kennedy Wheeler continued her strong start to the season by winning the 100 freestyle (53.24) and taking third in the 100 butterfly (59.85).
 
Additional top finishes came from Milena Judge, who placed third in the 200 backstroke (2:10.87), and Gwen Serafin, who was runner-up in the 200 butterfly (2:12.60) and added a fourth-place finish in the 500 free. Ashley Connor and Ellie DeKeukelaere each posted top-three results in the 200 individual medley, finishing second and third, respectively.
 
The Red Foxes closed the meet on a strong note, finishing second in the 200 freestyle relay. The team of Rian Dickman, Wheeler, Anna Kirby, and Charlotte Lepis touched in 1:38.45, just two-tenths of a second behind Colgate's winning squad.
 
Despite the narrow team result, Marist showed depth and balance across all disciplines, earning key points from both veterans and newcomers.
