NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Dartmouth women's swimming and diving team was defeated by both Yale and Penn in their return to Ivy League action at Yale's Kiphuth Exhibition Pool. Diving events took place on Friday and swimming followed on Saturday.

"Illness meant we had a very small squad for this competition and while we can't control the cards that were dealt, we can control how we play them," said head coach Milana Socha. "Zoe Moon and Julianne Jones both walked away with exciting wins against Penn. Alexa Kalish stepped up as the only diver able to compete and rose to that challenge."

In Friday's diving action, Kalish placed sixth in the 1-meter dive with a score of 222.65 and seventh on the 3-meter board at 231.15.

Moon's win over Penn came in the 200 backstroke as the junior beat all Quakers to the wall with a time of 2:09.24. Moon was also second against Penn in 100 backstroke with an even 1:00.00.

Jones, who set a pool record at Bates in her last outing, topped Penn in the 200 IM at 2:05.81. She was second against Penn in the 100 breast (1:06.48) and 200 breast (2:22.42).

Lindsey Drumm, Rachel Zhang, Christina Cianciolo and Sophie Wiener placed fourth overall and second against Penn in the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 1:41.50.

Dartmouth fell by a score of 272-25 to Yale and 231-62 to Penn.

The Big Green return home to host the two-day Tate Ramsden Invitational, which will pit Dartmouth against UMass and Northeastern, beginning Friday, Jan. 20 at 5 p.m. The program will honor its lone senior, Cianciolo, prior to the start of Saturday's action.
