Staten Island, NY – Coming off wins against Fairfield and Saint Peter's, followed by a successful training trip to Florida, the Wagner College swimming and diving team will be back in action this weekend when the Seahawks travel to Rhode Island for a dual meet against the Rams on Sunday, starting at 1 pm.
Sunday's meet also begins the one-month countdown to February's Northeast Conference (NEC) Championships, which will take place from February 13-16 in East Meadow, NY.
After finishing behind the Stags at the ECAC Winter Championships in December, Wagner earned the victory last weekend behind both their senior leaders and newcomers.
Making her collegiate debut after joining the Seahawks from New Zealand, freshman
Ellie Eastwood started her career with three victories, finishing first in the 100 Breast (1:05.69), 200 Breast, (2:21.49), and 200 IM (2:11.49).

Makenna Depuydt was victorious in the 200 Free (1:56.25).
On the diving board, Warning picked up where she left off in 2018, sweeping both boards with 221.25 points in the 1-meter competition and 242.85 points on the 3-meter board.
Last season, the Seahawks earned a convincing 160.00 – 99.00 victory over the Rams at the Spiro Sports Center, as Depuydt was victorious in three events, taking first place in the 1000 Free (10:43.10), 100 Free (54.94), and 500 Free (5:16.70).
Following this weekend's meet, the Seahawks will travel to Bucknell on January 20, starting at 1:00 pm.
