HANOVER, N.H. - The Dartmouth women's swimming and diving team dropped a home Ivy meet to Princeton this afternoon.

The Tigers topped the Big Green, 169-126, dropping Dartmouth to 0-9 on the season, 0-6 Ivy.

Erica Serpico (Moorestown, N.J.) had yet another impressive performance on the boards, winning both the one and three meter diving events for the fourth straight meet. She took the three meter with a score of 281.93 and the one meter with a score of 255.06.

Freshman Charlotte Williams (Boca Raton, Fla.) won the 200 breaststroke for Dartmouth, finishing in 2:27.54 with Maddie Steiner (Dallas, Texas) in third in 2:29.78. Williams finished second in a grueling 400 individual medley in 4:39.48.

Fellow rookie Isa Guardalabene (Albany, Calif.) finished third in the 100 backstroke in 1:00.76, a race in which Princeton's Alicia Aemisegger was .05 off the pool record. Guardalabene took third in the 200 backstroke as well in 2:11.16.

Caitlin Keenan (Encinitas, Calif.) had a strong race in the 100 breaststroke, taking second in 1:10.25. Virginia Selden (Birmingham, Ala.) took second in the 200 butterfly in 2:09.89 with Nicholson third in 2:10.80, less than a second off her personal best time.

Caitlin Foley (Chesapeake, Va.) took second in the 50 freestyle in 25.13, followed closely by Steiner in third in 25.32. Foley was the top finisher in the 200 freestyle for Dartmouth, taking fourth in 2:00.51.

Steiner took first in the 200 IM in 2:14.11, an exhibition race in which Princeton's Aemisegger broke the Karl Michael Pool record by more than six seconds with a time of 2:01.23. Sophomore Caitlin Nicholson (Ithaca, N.Y.) was tops for Dartmouth in another exhibition, the 100 butterfly in 58.55.

Princeton set a Karl Michael Pool record in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:47.02 while the Dartmouth team of Guardalabene, Elizabeth Kamai (Corte Madera, Calif.), Kelsey Pinson (Portland, Ore.) and Foley took third in 1:51.45.
