ITHACA, N.Y. – Brown women's swimming and diving (4-3, 4-3 Ivy) set seven new Teagle Pool records en route to a 185-115 victory over Cornell (5-4, 3-4 Ivy) on Friday evening.

"Sharing the deck with this year's team has been a lot of fun so this was a great way to wrap up our regular dual meet season," said Kate Kovenock, Mary Ann Lippitt Women's Swimming/Diving Coaching Chair. "Cornell came in with their best to date and our women responded with grit and spirit right from the opening race. We are all looking forward to the championship season."
