Swim & Dive Earn Three MAAC Weekly Awards

EDISON, NJ - The Gaels earn three MAAC weekly awards following a series of standout performances on both the men's and women's sides. Emma Todd was named MAAC Female Diver of the Week, Dylan Riccio earned MAAC Male Diver of the Week, and Paige Fiorino was selected as MAAC Rookie of the Week, marking a strong showing for Iona across the board.

Leading the charge for the Iona women was freshman Paige Fiorino, who touched first in both the 50- and 100-free with impressive times of 25.00 and 54.85, respectively. Junior diver Emma Todd continued her excellent season, claiming the top spot on both the 1- and 3-meter springboard events with scores of 227.02 and 220.80.

The Iona men also delivered a powerful performance, earning multiple event victories highlighted by senior diver Dylan Riccio's historic day on the boards. Riccio posted a school-record and NCAA Zone Championship–qualifying score of 337.95 on the 3-meter springboard, becoming the first Iona male diver ever to qualify for an NCAA Regional event. He completed the sweep by also capturing the 1-meter event with a score of 284.93.

Third honor for Dylan, Emma and Paige earned their first of the season, to start the fall the Gaels now have seven weekly award winners.

These exceptional performances fueled Iona's dominance in the pool and secured well-deserved conference recognition for Todd, Riccio, and Fiorino.
