ITHACA, N.Y. – The Dartmouth College women's swim team took home their first Ivy League win since the team's reinstatement to Dartmouth this evening as they defeated Cornell 159-141. This marks Head Coach Milana Socha's first Ivy win as head coach for the Big Green.

"This was a huge win for our women because it took everyone stepping up to find a way to win or score one point in their event. They started the meet fired up from our diver results yesterday and leaned into creating a special atmosphere on deck. Coming off a hard training block with final exams beginning next week, they were able to stay present and keep up the fight with both Cornell and Harvard all the way till the very end. I think they learned some valuable lessons about how much power they have to control their energy and outlook in a meet, and I can't wait to see where that realization and confidence can take us. This is only the beginning," said Socha.

The 200 Medley Relay of Jamieson Legh, Kathy Jia, Lane Murray and Samantha Li won the whole event with the second fastest time in Dartmouth history, 1:41.66. The time also set a pool record in the event.

Addy Domian took home a win versus Cornell in 1000 free with a time of 10:12.20. Also, Domian and Sydney Rawie went 1-2 over Cornell in the 500 free with times of 4:59.22 and 5:01.29.

Jamie Legh won the 100 back overall with the second fastest time in Dartmouth history, 54.94.

Jia swam to a win versus Harvard in 100 breast with a time of 1:03.6.

Lindsey Drumm also took a win over Harvard in the 200 fly, recording a time of 2:05.72.

Li came in first in back-to-back women's events, the 50 free and 100 free. She swam a 23.49 in the 50 and a 50.68 in the 100 free. In the same event, Lane Murray combined with Li for a 1-2 finish versus Harvard with Murray recording a 51.56.

Legh got a lifetime best time, a win versus Cornell, and landed number four on the all-time top-10 program list in the 200 back with a time of 1:59.28. Maria Uranga got the program number nine all-time top-10 time in the event with a time of 2:01.61.

Jia swam to a win over Cornell in the 200 breast with a time of 2:21.12.
