ITHACA, N.Y. – The Cornell women's swimming and diving team was right on Brown's heels, but the Bears edged the Big Red, 157-143, on Friday afternoon at Teagle Pool in Ithaca, N.Y.

Cornell collected seven individual event wins against Brown, highlighted by a sweep in the 100 freestyle. Priscilla Wongso headlined a Big Red group that went 1-2-3, with Wongso winning the event in 50.80. Melissa Parker (51.37) and Anna Gruvberger (51.93) followed in second and third, respectively.

The freestyle events were a huge source of success for the Big Red on Friday, with Wongso picking up her second victory of the day in the 50 freestyle (23.41) and Parker finishing just behind in second (23.51). Parker's best performance came in the 200 freestyle, as she was the first to touch the wall in 1:50.43, giving Cornell the top finisher in each of the freestyle sprints.

Allie Danko kept things going in the distance freestyle races, finishing second in both the 500 freestyle (5:00.44) and 1,000 freestyle (10:16.26).

In the diving events, Elise Jendritz and Demetra Williams claimed the top-two spots in both disciplines, with Jendritz finishing as a double-winner for the second time in two weekends. Jendritz won the 1-meter with 289.35 points and the 3-meter with 315.98 points, clinching both victories just as she did against Yale on Jan. 15.
