EWING, N.J. – Off the back of two key wins and some excellent dives, TCNJ closed the gap between themselves and first-place Stevens on the second day of the TCNJ Invitational.
Shaye Bundonis earned the Lions their first win of the evening on the 100 Back. She posted a time of 1:00.36, which about one-and-a-half seconds ahead of second place. The second win for TCNJ came in the last event of the night—the 800 Free Relay. Although the Lions' A relay came in second place behind Stevens, that winning relay was disqualified. As a result, the relay of
Sarah Mandy,
Katie Mazzacco,
Mary Kate Owens, and
Bridget Cleveland allowed the Lions to end the day with two wins.
The Lions swimmers also won a B final thanks to
Emma Vindigni. The sophomore logged a time of 1:14.6 in the 100 Breaststroke.
In diving,
Beth Evaldi (1
st) and
Melody Lin (2

Hannah Simons placed in 5
