Carozza a Triple Winner for the Golden Rams: WCU Falls to UPenn, 176-120

MEET RESULTS

PHILADELPHIA – Fifth-year senior Ann Carozza (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) won three separate events, but it was not enough for West Chester's women to overcome host University of Pennsylvania Friday night at Sheerr Pool. The Quakers topped the Golden Rams, 176-120 in their non-league showdown.
 
Carozza won the 100-yard freestyle as well as both the 100 and 200 butterfly events. She also swam the third leg of the 200 medley relay that won first place to lead off the meet Friday. Carozza has already hit NCAA qualifying times in all three events. Yet, she continues to put up some of the best times in the country. She won the 100 free in 50.88 seconds while taking the 100 fly in 55.07 and the 200 fly in 2 minutes, 1.14 seconds.
 
West Chester swimmers won a total of six individual races, plus the 200 medley relay to put forth a strong showing. Maddy Koehle (State College, Pa./State College Area) won the 200 backstroke in 2:23.84 while placing second in the 100 breaststroke (1:06.81). Mikayla Niness (Spring City, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) won the 50 free (24.04) with a second place in the 1000 free (10:17.26). Danielle Stewart (Dover, Del./Caesar Rodney) won the 200 backstroke in 2:09.15 for West Chester's other individual victory.
 
Lila DiCarlo (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Trinity) led off the 200 medley relay that was a winner. But, she also placed third in the 100 back and fourth in the 200 back.
 
The diving competition had incomplete results at press time.
 
West Chester gets right back in the pool Saturday morning when it welcomes New York University to Graham Natatorium for another non-league affair on Senior Day.
