PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's and women's swimming and diving teams hosted their first home meet of the 2016-17 season on Oct. 21 in Providence, R.I. against the Bryant University Bulldogs. Impressive times were posted by the Friars for both the women and the men, but the Bulldogs ultimately triumphed with scores of 183-114 and 184-104, respectively.
Senior Helen Smith (Belmont, Mass.) lowered the school record in the 200-meter backstroke to 2:20.26, which she previously held at 2:20.99, en route to her first place finish in that event.
