In the first of two non-league meets this weekend, the Big Green women's swimming and diving team displayed tremendous depth, as it secured wins against both Northeastern University and the University of Rhode Island on Saturday.
In the 16-event dual meet, hosted by Northeastern in Boston, Mass., the Big Green rolled over Rhode Island, failing to win just one event en route to a 234-66 victory.
The Huskies presented more of a challenge, with Dartmouth and Northeastern each taking first place in eight events.
However, the Big Green's superior depth allowed it to secure the win over the Huskies, 171-129, bringing the squad's record to 9-3 (3-3 Ivy).
Now sporting a 9-3 record after the weekend's two wins, the Dartmouth women are in contention for "most successful women's winter sports team," Christine Kerr '14 said.
With a preseason goal of winning all of its non-conference meets, the Big Green had high expectations heading into Saturday's dual meet.
"This was one of the big meets for the girls who aren't competing at Ivy Championships," co-captain Galen Barry '12 said.
