LEWISTON, Maine — The Bates men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams hosted Dartmouth College in a rare dual meet against an Ivy League opponent Friday night at Tarbell Pool. Dartmouth’s women’s team outscored Bates 166-52, while the men’s score was 143-79 in the Big Green’s favor.
“Although the score was lopsided, the meet had a ton of close races that I am very proud of. We even snuck in a few event wins which should give the whole program some confidence in our ability to race the best,” said Bates head coach Peter Casares. “It was a pleasure hosting Dartmouth. Their kids really pushed us to swim faster and dive better than we expected.”
Bates travels to Deerfield Beach, Fla., Dec. 15-23 for its annual training trip. The Bobcats’ next meet is at Middlebury on Jan. 13 at 11am.
