NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Dartmouth men's swimming and diving team fell to Columbia (196-102) in its final Ivy League meet of the season on Saturday.

The Big Green's divers kicked the meet off on the 3-meter board. Kyle Schubert finished highest in third (293.23), while Jonathan Hu was fifth (254.25). Dartmouth picked up two points by placing fourth in the 200 medley relay (1:34.18), touching two seconds ahead of the Green's B relay.

Connor LaMastra and Ethan Banks took the top two spots in the 1000 free with times of 9:19.29 and 9:38.27 to earn a total of 13 points. It was the same story in the 200 free; Tim Park was first (1:40.00), while Joe Moll touched in second place (1:40.36). LaMastra was back in the 200 fly, finishing first by less than three-tenths of a second (1:48.46). Matt Luciano also swam the event and earned one point (1:56.87).

In the 100 back, Tim Cushman (53.14) and Noah Hensley (53.19) ended up in scoring position. Swimming the 100 breast, Parker Herschberger (58.99) and Brandon Liao (59.42) picked up a combined three points. John Hall and Landon Armstrong touched less than three tenths of a second apart in the 50 free in fourth (21.35) and fifth (21.62).

On 1-meter, Schubert finished in second place (268.80) and Hu followed soon after in third (266.10). In the 200 back, Hensley was second (1:55.53) and Cushman placed third (1:57.43), out-touching a Columbia swimmer by six one-hundredths. Connor Richmond and Hershberger competed in the 200 breast, coming in third (2:10.44) and fourth (2:12.72).

Moll won the 500 free (4:35.02), leaving a five-second gap behind him. Banks was third (4:41.52) and Park came in fifth place (4:43.82). Six points went in Dartmouth's direction in the 100 fly when Luciano came second (50.94) and Connor Bishop was fourth (52.97).

LaMastra was second in the 200 IM, finishing four-tenths of a second out of first, while Moll took fourth (1:54.63). The Green ended the meet by placing second in the 200 free relay (1:25.54), missing out on first by less than a tenth and out-touching the Lions' B relay by half a second.

Next weekend, Dartmouth will take part in the two-day Boston Open against Boston University.
