PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Dartmouth men's swimming and diving kicked off the 2021-22 season on Saturday, falling to host Brown and Princeton by the same score of 237-59.
The meet was scored as separate dual meets, not a tri-meet.
"It was a terrific day for Dartmouth swimming and diving," head coach
Jesse Moore said. "The score does not represent the growth our program experienced today. We were truly a unified team with the best presence on deck. I am so proud of the steps forward this team is taking and I cannot wait to see their transformation through this process!"
