WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University swimming & diving team split a dual meet against BIG EAST rival Villanova on Saturday afternoon at Albert G. McCarthy Pool. The GU men came away with a convincing 178-120 victory over the Wildcats, while the women's squad fell 196-103.
 
The Hoyas got off to a strong start on the men's side, taking the top two spots in the 200-yard medley relay. The quartet of Drew Carbone (Chelmsford, Mass. / Central Catholic), Nathaniel Goldfarb (Columbus, Ohio / Columbus Academy), Jack Lynch (Ridgefield, Conn. / Ridgefield) and Seth Maslowski (Cary, N.C. / Green Hope) touched the wall first. Two seconds later, the team of Henry Hollinshead (Raleigh, N.C. / Green Hope), Arthur Wang (Wilmington, Del. / Charter School of Wilmington), Emmanuel Emovon (Hattiesburg, Miss. / Wando) and Sean Devlin (Framingham, Mass. / Wayland) won a tight race for second.
 
Carbone, Michael Wheeler (Lafayette, Calif. / Campolindo) and Justin Summers (Weston, Conn. / Weston) each came away with a pair of individual victories. Carbone swept the 100- and 200-yard backstroke races for the third-consecutive meet. Wheeler took first in both distance events, winning the 1,000- and 500-yard freestyles, while Summers touched the wall first in both the 100- and 200-yard butterflies. Brett Sherman (Carmel, Ind. / Carmel) also came away with a win in the 400-yard IM.
 
The Blue & Gray also swept the top three spots in both breaststroke events. Goldfarb claimed gold medalist honors in the 100 breast, finishing just ahead of Wang and Matthew Szilagyi (Leesburg, Va. / Thomas Jefferson), who took second and third, respectively. In the 200-yard breaststroke, Carlson Temple (San Diego, Calif. / Patrick Henry) touched the wall first, followed closely by Szilagyi and Goldfarb.
 
Georgetown capped off the win in the 400 freestyle relay as the quartet of Jack Calderwood (Houston, Texas / Strake Jesuit College Prep), Wheeler, Carbone and Jacob Kohlhoff (      Tega Clay, N.C. / Fort Mill) eased to a six-second victory, nearly clipping the school record.
 
On the women's side, Alexandra Rieker (Winston-Salem, N.C. / Ronald Reagan) came away with Georgetown's only individual swimming victory as she touched first in the 200-yard breaststroke. Christina Barrett (Chatham, N.J. / Chatham) took second in both distance freestyle events, while the Hoyas claimed second- and third-place finishes in three different events.
 
On the diving boards, Elizabeth Miller (Wayland, Mass. / Wayland) won the 1-meter event with a score of 280.50. Riley Fujioka (Los Altos, Calif. / Los Altos) and Naomi Peng (Gainesville, Fla. / Eastside) placed third and fourth, respectively, while Margaret Barnhorst (Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. / Ponte Vedra) and Rebecca Cox (Atlanta, Ga. / George Walton Comprehensive) were right behind them. In the 3-meter dive, Fujioka won with a score of 264.38, with Peng and Miller taking third and fourth, respectively, and Cox placed fifth.
