HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth men's swimming and diving team faced Cornell and Harvard in a double dual meet Friday at Karl Michael Pool. The Big Green fell to Cornell by a score of 186.50-113.50, and Harvard, 231-68.

"The men put up a fight and while we didn't come away with the overall win, we certainly made improvements and saw good things," said head coach Milana Socha. "Joe Moll's victory in the 200 IM had the fans in the stands on their feet. Everett Tai dove well on both boards, besting Cornell on each. Yan Dvoretskiy swam a much smarter race in the 1000 free than he did last week and dropped a ton of time as a result. Tim Park stayed consistent with strong performances, beating all the swimmers from Cornell in both his individual events. We are getting better every time we compete and will be hungry for our next competition in December."

Joe Moll won the 200 yard IM over both Harvard and Cornell with a first-place time of 1:53.02, edging Cornell's Sebastian Wolff. Moll also gave Dartmouth a win over Cornell in the 200 back, placing third with a time of 1:49.18.

Alexander Ye, who placed third in the 200 IM behind Moll and above all Harvard athletes, swam a lifetime best in his 50 fly split of the A medley relay. Yan Dvoretskiy also garnered a personal best, doing so in the 1000 free, placing fourth with a time of 9:37.41. The freshman dropped over 10 seconds from his time in the event last weekend.

The Big Green defeated Cornell in the 200 free with Tim Park's second-place finish, swimming a 1:40.15. Colton Rasmussen placed fifth in the event with a season-best time of 1:41.94, also outswimming Cornell. Park also helped Dartmouth best the Big Red in the 100 free when he placed third with a season-best 45.85 mark.

Everett Tai outscored all Cornell divers on the 3-meter board, earning a 292.55.

The Dartmouth men's swimming and diving team returns to action Thursday, Dec. 1, traveling to Oxford, Ohio to compete in the Miami University Invitational.
