Team Dominates In Dual Meets The Notre Dame women ' s swim and dive team concluded the 2001-2002 season with one of the best showings in schtxil history. The ladies carried that momentum into their 2002- 2003 schedule, establishing themselves as the dominant force in the Big East, and as one of the nation ' s top twenty programs. The Irish squad was faced with the tre- mendous task of replacing some of their top scorers lost to graduation. However, with 23 returning swimmers and divers, the team pos- sessed great depth in many events, especially the breaststroke. Laurie Musgrave, Georgia Healey, and Jilen Siroky turned in strong perfomiances over the course of the season, and the arrival of a pair of freshmen further solidified the roster in the breaststroke events. Head coach Bailey Weathers commented on the freshmen- The addition of Annie Mantey and Courtney Choura adds a lot of strength to Jilen, Laurie, and Georgia. I think we potentially have five women Sophomore Sarah Alwen, who qualified for the Big East her fresh- man year, swims freestyle.

Veterans Lisa Garcia, Marie Labosky, and Lisa D ' Olier were also invaluable in the lanes in the butterfly, freestyle, and International Medley events, while freshman Christel Bouv- ron was also able to make an immediate impact. In the diving events, Meghan Perry-Eaton was the top scorer for the Irish. As the team prepared to round out its dual meet season, the ladies carried an impressive 9- 1-1 record, with their only loss coming against rival Indiana by a disappointing eight points. The key victory of the season for the Irish was a thriller against neighboring Michigan, in which the 200-freestyle relay team of Danielle Hulick, Heidi Hendrick, Katie Eckholt, and Kristen Peterson edged their opponents by 0.33 seconds. After the exciting win, the Irish looked to the Big East Championship. by Sarah Wear Fac-no F«C.T Opponent Result Colorado W, 162-100 Purdue T, 150-150 Indiana L, 154-146 Michigan State W, 181-119 Pittsburgh W, 195-105 Michigan W, 153-147 Wome-t ' Swivnv !!
