RICHMOND, Va. — Siena Senn, Sarah Helen Shepherd and Shelby Stanley won two events each Friday — and the Wildcat women topped George Mason in the team scores — to highlight the first day of swimming and diving action at the Richmond Duals.
The Davidson women's team emerged with a 165.50-95.50 win over the Patriots and will now face host Richmond on Saturday beginning at 10 a.m.
"The women were outstanding tonight," said coach John Young. "It was fun to see them start to explore what they're capable of."
A sophomore, Senn won the 200- and 500-yard freestyles in 1:53.99 and 5:08.38, respectively, while Shepherd, a junior, won the 200 individual medley (2:06.77) and the 200 backstroke (2:05.01). Stanley, a freshman, won both butterfly events, swimming the 100 fly in 56.90 and the 200 fly in 2:05.81.
In all, the Davidson women won nine events, beginning with the 200 medley relay, as Hope Carpenter, Stanley, Olivia Stanley and Abby Francis swam it in 1:47.64.
Julia Goodhead posted a win in the 100 backstroke (58.07), and Hannah Gould won the 200 breaststroke in 2:25.11. Diver Liz Goei was unopposed and added key points in two events.
The top finish for the Davidson men came from junior diver Daniel Valmassei, who won the 1-meter competition. The reigning Atlantic 10 Performer of the Week continued his strong start to his first Davidson season, totaling 263.10 points to win by 18 points.
The Davidson men are back in action at 10 a.m. Saturday in Richmond and will conclude their two-day meet with George Mason.
