GLASSBORO, N.J. – On Saturday, the TCNJ Women's swimming and diving team wrapped up a two-day dual meet against Rowan. Lilliana Kuball got the Lions a win on the second day of competition, while Hannah Simons and Jenna Ringel highlighted the diving team's efforts.
 
DIVING
 
Beth Evaldi led the way again for the Lions, posting a 271.73 in the 1-meter and a 284.40 in the 3-meter. Hannah Simons punched her ticket to regionals by qualifying for the second time on 1-meter. She achieved a 255.45 in six dives, and she also got a 244.80 in the 3-meter. Jenna Ringel herself qualified for the first time on both 1-meter (241.58) and 3-meter (266.25), meaning that she just needs one more qualification to book her trip to regionals.

In the 1000 free, Katie Mazzacco (11:11.51) and Bella Patti (11:21.45) placed in second and third respectively, followed up by Shaye Bundonis's second-place effort on the 100 back. After that, Lilliana Kuball (2:34.05) and Katelyn Gaulin (2:37.70) placed second and third respectively in the 200 breast.
 
Bridget Cleveland came extremely close to claiming a win for the Lions on the first day, but she finished just one tenth of a second behind in the 200 free. Cleveland posted a 2:00.49 in the event, setting a new personal best.
 
Finally, Bundonis in the 100 fly (1:01.51) and Kuball in the 200 IM (2:17.40) rounded out the Lions' runner-up finishes on the first day of the weekend.

The Lions' lone win on the weekend came via Lilliana Kuball on the 100 free, where she posted a 55.95. On top of Kuball's win, the Lions logged two second-place finishes and five third-place finishes.
 
The second day's individual events began with the 500 free, where Katie Mazzacco (5:28.71) and Bella Patti (5:31.79) placed in second and third respectively. Shaye Bundonis placed third in the 200 back (2:13.54), followed up by Katelyn Gaulin's third-place performance in the 100 breast (1:12.91). Mazzacco then picked up third-place finish in the 200 fly (2:21.66), and Sarah Mandy rounded out the individual top-three finishers for the Lions with third place in the 400 IM (4:56.24).
 
The Lions concluded the weekend on a high note, as their A relay (Mary Kate Owens, Katie Mazzacco, Emma Zakutney, Bridget Cleveland) posted a 1:44.41 in the 200 free relay in the last event of the two-day meet.
