UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Ohio -- The John Carroll women's swimming & diving team battled against an NCAA Division I opponent in Canisius, but were unable to upend the Golden Griffins as they were defeated 158-85 at the Johnson Natatorium.

The 73 point margin was the second closest loss JCU has ever had against a Division I school.

"The women came together and rallied around one another," Blue Streak head coach Tanner Barton said. "I'm proud of how well they performed coming off an intense week of training."

The Blue Streaks, fresh off their week-long training trip to Florida, won the first event of the meet in the 200 medley relay. The team of Maddie Panus, Olivia Goodman, Mairin Dalziel, and Ashley Lynch posted a mark of 1:53.36.

JCU won only one more event the rest of the meet, as Gwyneth Hamilton earned gold in the 50 freestyle (24.93).

John Carroll had four second place finishes in the individual events, with Goodman in the 1000 freestyle (11:27.56) and 100 butterfly (1:00.90), Lynch in the 200 freestyle (2:02.30), and Hamilton in the 100 freestyle (55.49).

Freshmen Mary Hoffman and Mairin Dalziel each placed third in the 200 freestyle (2:02.65) and 50 freestyle (25.39), respectfully.

During the diving events, Catherine Steinwachs, Sarah Roehrs, and Kathryn Visco each scored team points in the one meter while Steinwachs (228.15) placed second in the three meter. Sarah Hanlon and Visco also scored in the three meter event.

The Blue Streaks concluded the meet with a second place finish in the 200 freestyle relay (1:42.16) with Dalziel, Anna Glass, Hamilton, and Kaitlyn Hilty.

JCU (4-2) will be back in the pool on Friday, January 27 as they head to Berea to face Baldwin Wallace at 6pm.
