PROVIDENCE, RI - The Iona women were led by two individual school records in the 25-meter pool by freshmen Victoria Novinskiy and another by the relay quartet of Grace Curry, Julia Moser, Ashley Benkert and Isabella Nicholson.  The win raised the women's season record to 5-1.
 
Novinskiy's times of 2:21.25 in the 200-Meter Butterfly and 2:20.56 in the 200-Back, lowered the respective team records of teammates 2:23.72 by Taylor Spillman set last March at Fairfield; and, Meghan Pattison's time of 2:22.58 from the 2019 Providence meet.
 
The Iona men fell to 2-3 despite Junior Michael Faughnan showing his versatility taking his first collegiate 100-Meter Backstroke race and added a pair of wins in the 100-Free and 800-Free. Faughnan' s 100-Free time of 51.32 was a new school mark in the 25-Meter Course, lowering his February time set at Fairfield.
 
Other women winners included Ashley Benkert (100-Butterfly); Megan Josephs (200-Free); Isabella Nicholson (50-Free, 100-Free, 200-Individual Medley); Elisa Vaher (800-Free); Brennyn Veit (200-Breast).
