CHESTER, Pa. – The Garnet women swam to victory over Widener University 114-79, but the men fell short, losing to the Pride 118-87 in both squad’s season-opening event on Wednesday night from the Schwartz Center. Senior All-American Anne Miller led the Swarthmore women to victory with three race wins (1000, 500, 200 freestyles) and 27 points. Strong performances from the freshmen class led the men’s team, with Daniel Duncan earning two race victories (200 freestyle, 200 butterfly) and a medley second in his first collegiate race.
