MEADVILLE, Pa. -- The Allegheny College women's swimming team concluded the regular-season portion of the 2025-26 season by hosting Division II PennWest Edinboro on Senior Night.
The Fighting Scots (8-2) concluded their winningest regular season in recent memory with a 103-67 victory over the Gators (5-5). Despite Edinboro's D-II status, the two teams have met in dual competition in each of the last five seasons.
Several Gators competed in races outside their usual specialty. Although they didn't earn any first-place finishes against the Fighting Scots, the hosts were runners-up in 10 events, including both the 200-yard medley and freestyle relays.
Seniors
Anna Kohler (Sewickley, Pa./Avonworth) and
Josephine Reiter (Pittsburgh, Pa./CAPA) swam with both quartets, helping Allegheny touch the wall in 1:49.85 in the freestyle relay and 1:59.13 in the medley relay. Individually, Reiter took second in the 100-yard backstroke in 1:14.56. Kohler, traditionally a sprint swimmer, was the fastest of the three Gators in the 500-yard freestyle race with a time of 5:55.39.
Sophomore
Emily Arendas (North Huntingdon, Pa./Norwin) logged two runner-up performances. She swam the butterfly for the first time this season, taking second in the 100-yard race with a time of 1:08.87 in the 100-yard fly, and finished the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:18.61.
