The Harvard women's swimming and diving team (2-0, 2-0 Ivy) opened its season with wins against Cornell (1-1, 1-1 Ivy) and Dartmouth (0-2, 0-2 Ivy) in Ithaca on Saturday.
Competing in a tri-meet format, the Crimson downed the Big Red, 176-123. The Crimson simultaneously sank the Big Green, 225-72.
Harvard broke four pool records at Cornell's Teagle Pool in the process.
Tri-captain Pia Chock led Harvard's assault with individual wins in the 200-yard freestyle in a time of 1:51.87, and with a 56.33 finish in the 100-yard butterfly, both for pool records.
Chock has been on fire since returning to Cambridge in September and assuming captainship.
"She's been training extremely hard, that's the reason," junior Lauren Fabian said.
Junior distance ace Rebekah Lorenz confirmed Fabian's observations.
"It's time that her hard work is finally paying off," Lorenz said. "She's not afraid of pain in her races, and that gets her to go fast."
