The New York University women's swimming & diving team hosted Drew University and Stevens University on Friday, November 1, at the Palladium Athletic Facility in New York, NY. 
 
Ranked #3 in the nation, the Violets had a dominant showing, winning all five events.
 
The meet kicked off with the diving events at 1:00pm, where NYU's divers demonstrated their skill and resilience. All five women achieved their first NCAA Regional qualifying scores, impressing Head Diving Coach Todd Kolean. 
 
"I couldn't be happier with how NYU dove today," said Kolean. "Issara Schmidt returned for her first meet of the season and won the six-dive event, and Meera Kasturi literally had the best meet of her career at NYU." 
 
In the 3-meter diving event, Isabella Reyes topped the scoreboard with an impressive total of 485.48, securing first place. Katherine Taylor followed closely, scoring 469.88 to place second. Schmidt finished with 310.73 for a solid fourth, while Kasturi earned 302.55 points, placing fifth and capping an outstanding day for the diving team.
 
When the swimming events began at 5:00pm, the Violets continued their impressive performance. 
 
In the 500-yard freestyle, Nicole Ranile led the way, clocking in at 5:03.09, with Caitlin Marshall finishing closely behind at 5:04.24. Calista Lynch dominated the 200-yard individual medley with a winning time of 2:08.45. 
 
Meanwhile, NCAA Division III Swimmer of the Year Kaley McIntyre added another win for NYU in the 50-yard freestyle, finishing with a swift 23.97.

"All in all, the NYU women did a great job of competing and supporting each other," said Assistant Coach Connor Rumpit. "We are looking forward to carrying that momentum forward in the next two sessions."

The Violets return to the pool on Saturday, competing against Stevens, Drew, and Columbia University. Swimming events will be held at 10:00am and 4:00 PM with 1:00pm for diving.
