PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Cornell women's swimming and diving team took down Penn by a score of 191-109 on Saturday afternoon from DeNunzio Pool. The Big Red also matched up against Princeton, taking a 204-96 loss. The Big Red had a podium finisher in 10 of 16 events.

Cornell picked up one solo victory on the afternoon as Anna Gruvberger took home the win in the 100-Yard Butterfly with a time of 54.38. Marie Williams also picked up a second-place finish in the 200-Yard Backstroke, finishing almost a second ahead of Meg Wheeler from Princeton. Priscilla Wongso continued the solid start to her senior season, finishing second in the 100-Yard Freestyle as part of a 2-3-4 finish for the Big Red, with Emilie Boisrenoult and Kate Li taking home third and fourth. Wongso also clinched a third-place finish in the 50-Yard Freestyle with a time of 23.15. 

But the most impressive night came from Katherine Yee, as the first-year swimmer broke the program record in the 200-Yard Butterfly with a 1:59.53, 0.17 seconds ahead of Maegan Rudolph's time set at the 2019 Ivy League Championships. Yee followed up that record-breaking time with a third-place finish in the 200-Yard IM, finishing almost two seconds ahead of teammate Kate Li. Yee was not the only first-year swimmer to grab a podium, as Brooke Andrews finished third in the 1-Meter Dive with 249.45 points. 

The Big Red's relay unit also had a strong showing. In the 200-Yard Medley, the quartet of Ming Xu, Amy Wu, Boisrenoult, and Wongso took third with a time of 1:42.17. And to round out the tri-meet, Cornell had two teams in the top four of the 400-Yard Freestyle, as Boisrenoult, Joelle Ohr, Wongso, and Li had the runner-up spot with a 3:24.04, while Bahar Demirkiran, Allie Danko, Alex Syrkin, and Olivia Sutter secured fourth (3:33.13). 

With Saturday's win over the Quakers, Cornell has won three out of the last five meets and improved its record to 30-13-1 overall.
