SCRANTON, Pa. - Senior Mal Vishwanath contributed to four victories, but the Drew University women's swimming & diving team fell just short in a 135-127 loss at Landmark Conference foe Scranton Friday evening.

Vishwanath won the 100-, 200-, and 500-freestyle while also leading off for the victorious 400-freestyle relay.

The meet was originally scheduled for Saturday but was moved up one day due to impending inclement weather.

Taking on a team that entered the night 7-1, the Rangers (2-4) won two of the first three events with a pair of 1-2 finishes. Senior Katie Jefferson captured the 1,000-freestyle in 11:24.87, with sophomore Abby Shapiro taking second in 11:36.59. Vishwanath followed up with her victory in the 200 while freshman Katie Cashin was second in 2:00.58.

Cashin added a win three events later in the 200-butterfly, leading a 1-2-3 Drew sweep. Sophomore Sydney Everhart was second in 2:16.69 while Jefferson took third in 2:20.01.

Vishwanath would claim the 100 (55.01) and 500 (5:23.73) midway through the meet before the Rangers posted another 1-2-3 sweep, this time in the 100-butterfly. Everhart won in 1:00.75 and was followed by Jefferson (1:01.79) and sophomore Mackenzie Garcia Hynds (1:03.06).

In the final event of the meet, Vishwanath, freshman Grace Aboussleman, Cashin, and Garcia Hynds won a tight race with a time of 3:42.87.

Drew competes in its final home meet of the season on Saturday, Jan. 25, when it takes on Goucher, another Landmark opponent, starting at 1 p.m. on Senior Day.
