LOUDONVILLE, NY – Siena Swimming & Diving (2-5) won three events in its return to the pool Saturday afternoon, taking on Vermont (3-4) at the Siena Swim Center in its first action of the Spring 2020 leg of its season. The Saints fell, 191-100 to the Catamounts in its second of three home meets that it will host this season.

Vermont jetted out to a quick start in the dual meet competition, winning five of the first six events before the first diving break of the day. Junior Shannon Leary took home the top spot in the 100-yard breaststroke, swimming a time of 1:10.48 for the first Saints' event win of the day.

Leary was joined by freshman Jessica Shine in winning a swimming event in the pool, with Shine swimming a 1:00.11 in the 100-yard butterfly to take home the top spot. Freshman diver Lydia DeLano set a personal best score during her win in the 3-meter diving competition racking up 252.46 points to best three Vermont divers in the event.
