"I am certain that we will successfully defend our record at Easterns and that we will make a strong showing at NCAAs," Fritsch said. "Simply put, they [Princeton] were a better team than us the first weekend in February. Soon we'll see who the best team is the first weekend of March."
Women's Swimming
The Harvard women's swimming and diving team (3-4, 3-4 Ivy) wrapped up its dual meet season Friday evening and Saturday afternoon with losses to Ivy rivals Princeton (7-0, 6-0 Ivy) and Yale (9-1, 5-1 Ivy) in a two-day, double-dual meet at Princeton. The Tigers defeated Harvard 205 to 112 and Yale outpaced Harvard 168.5 to 150.5.
The Crimson's results at the annual Harvard-Yale-Princeton competition are a bit paradoxical, much like the team's season.
As for Harvard's individual and relay performances, the Crimson was faster than ever.
Captain Pia Chock broke the 100-yard butterfly school record in a time of 55.57 en route to a second place finish, coming in .09 seconds behind Princeton's Molly Seto. Chock bettered the time of 55.98 set at the 1999 Ivy Championships by former Crimson standout Sarah Murphy '02.
