CORTLAND, N.Y. – Sophomore Taylor Williams (Slate Hill/Minisink Valley) set a school record in 1-meter diving and Cortland finished first in 10 individual swimming events as the Red Dragons defeated New Paltz, 149-102, in a women's swimming and diving dual meet at Holsten Pool.

Williams recorded an 11-dive score of 492.68 points on the 1-meter board, breaking the previous school mark of 481.75 points by Miranda Fergus in 2016. Williams also registered a career best on the 3-meter board with a six-dive score of 283.50 points. Both scores are NCAA regional qualifiers, although Williams had already earned her trip to regionals with performances earlier in the season.

Ashley Zachgo (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) punched her ticket to the NCAA diving regionals after scoring a career-high 421.50 points on the 1-meter board in an 11-dive format for her second qualifying effort of the season. She also had a career-best 264.97 points in six dives on the 3-meter board, just shy of the 265-point regional standard. Cortland did not count its diving performances toward the team dual scoring as the team verdict was already decided.
