ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Carleton College women's swimming & diving team bested Macalester College in a dual meet, 156-144. The Knights won 10 total events.
"What a fun way to finish up our Fall Term competitions," said Carleton associate head coach. "The team was locked in and ready from the start of the meet to the last relay. There were too many fantastic races, ripped dives, and touch-outs to count. Today's meet wasn't about any one individual's performance but rather the total team effort that was required to have the outcome that we had. A sweet victory for the women, the first since 2021."
