SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. -- Colgate Swimming and Diving junior Ellie Sundin took gold in the 3-meter dive to highlight the divers in action on Saturday at Seton Hall. 

COACH KUGELMAN'S COMMENTS

"This was an amazing meet for our divers. We're an extremely young team right now, so it was exciting to get them on the road for their first travel meet of the season and see them perform at such a high level. Seton Hall has always had strong divers, and with their team also being young, the meet really brought out the best in us. That competitive energy pushed our group to exceed expectations, and I'm incredibly proud of how they rose to the occasion.

"Our upperclassmen also stepped up, not only with strong performances, but by supporting the team and showing the younger divers the ropes on the road. This is definitely a great stepping stone for what's to come this season."
