Swimmers seek 8th win

The women's swim team will compete against the Yale Bulldogs this Saturday, coming off another exciting victory against Army.

The Big Green brought their winning streak to six, and improved their overall record to 7-3, the best record since the 1978-79 season.

Former Olympian Coach Betsy Mitchell called Yale a "perennial powerhouse" in the Ivy League, but she said she is confident the Dartmouth women will give them a tough battle.

"The meet will be a hard last challenge for the squad going to Easterns," Mitchell said.

Mitchell pointed out that Yale is on the same level as Cornell, whom the Big Green unexpectedly defeated in early January.

Swimmers who might turn in strong performances this weekend include Deb Whitney '96 and co-captain Cory Murphy '95, both exceptional swimmers in multiple events.

This will be the last home meet for Co-Captain Lisa Cloitre '94.

"This could be a really grand finale for Lisa," Mitchell said.

"This season has been a huge stepping stone for the Dartmouth women," Cloitre said.
