The Nova Southeastern University women’s swimming and diving team won their first-ever national title on Saturday at the 2023 NCAA Division II Swimming and Diving Championships in Indianapolis. The Sharks ushered in a new era after seven consecutive championships in which Queens University of Charlotte -now transitioning to Division I- walked away with the title.
Nova S’eastern scored 536.5 points (which was exactly what the Queens women scored last year) over the five days to beat runner-up Indy by 48 points. The Sharks won a total of 11 national titles: eight individual and three relay events.
NSU got off to a strong start on Day 1 with a meet record in the 800 free relay, as freshman Emilia Ronningdal (1:47.06) and sophomores Ilaria Murzilli (1:50.06), May Lowy (1:49.32), and Emily Trieschmann (1:47.21) combined for 7:13.65 to down the meet record set by Queens in 2015.
On Day 2, Trieschmann won the first of three individual events, setting a new meet record and lowering her own D2 record in the 1000 free with 9:43.25. Estelle Bauer (7th), Murzilli (10th), and Victoria Ortiz (11th) also scored in that event. Ronningdal followed up with a 1:57.78 victory in the 200 IM. Savanna Best (3rd), Lowy (7th), and Celina Marquez (10th) joined her in the finals. Mollie Morfelt, Best, Aleksandra Maslova, and Trieschmann wrapped up Day 2 with a 1:39.90 victory in the 200 medley relay.
Maslova and Marquez kicked off Day 3 with 12th- and 15th-place finishes in the 100 fly. Lowy won the 400 IM (4:13.80) and Best finished third. Ronningdal (1:47.11) and Trieschmann went 1-3 in the 200 free. Morfelt, Best, Maslova, and Ronningdal ended the evening with gold in the 400 medley relay (3:38.34).
Day 4 began with Trieschmann’s second individual title: a dominant 4:45.56 in the 500 free. Murzilli (7th), Ortiz (11th), and Bauer (15th) also scored. Morfelt and Marquez placed second and eighth in the 100 back. Best (1:01.13) and Claire Gass went 1-3 in the 100 breast, while Ronningdal won the consolation final to finish ninth. Lowy finished third in the 200 fly and Maslova, 12th.
Trieschmann kicked off Day 5 with her third individual title; she clocked a 16:30.11 in the 1650 free to win by 12 seconds. Marquez and Lowy were fourth and 10th in the 200 back. Best swept the breaststrokes with a 2:11.79 win in the 200; Ronningdal was fourth. Ronningdal, Trieschmann, Morfelt, and Solana Capalbo closed out the meet with an eighth-place finish in the 400 free relay.
