The Harvard women's swimming and diving team fell to Brown on Friday night in Providence, but the Crimson bounced back from the Bears' attack yesterday by defeating Columbia at Blodgett Pool.
The Crimson (3-1, 3-1 Ivy) mercifully tamed the Lions, 203-97. Harvard dominated Columbia (2-2, 0-2 Ivy) from the beginning of the meet, confirming its strength both in the pool and on the boards.
Harvard's successful effort yesterday helped make up for the team's disappointing loss against Brown (1-0, 1-0 Ivy) two days earlier, 189-106.
By dismantling the Lions, the Crimson showed it has the depth to match up against conference opponents. But the team's loss to the Bears was a wake up call. Harvard needs to improve upon this weekend's split in order to make a viable run at the Ivy title.
Harvard 203, Columbia 97
Several Harvard swimmers and divers had multiple wins.
Captain Pia Chock's closing speed in the 200-yard medley relay propelled the foursome of junior Janna McDougall, freshmen Erika DeBenedetto, Kate Nadeau and Chock past Columbia.
