WALTHAM, Mass. – The Bentley women's swimming and diving team is ready to get back in the pool as the 2026-27 season gets underway up in Vermont with a meet against Saint Michael's on Saturday.

The season opener is scheduled to begin at 1:00 pm and will be streamed live

The Falcons are coming off yet another stellar season where they went 7-4-1 in dual meets, finished second at the WPI Invitational and finished second as a team at the NE10 Championship for the fifth straight time.

While standout distance swimmer and Academic All-America Taylor White graduated, a strong squad returns to push for the top spot in the conference in 2026-27.

Senior Skyla Lang returns as one of the most accomplished swimmers in the NE10. She won two individual medals at the NE10s last year, gold in the 200 IM and silver in the 400 IM.

Lang is just a part of a strong senior class that includes Katie Keegan, Ashlee Favata, Michelle Li, Isabella Montanari, Rishika Moorthy and Ava Young.

Moorthy won bronze in the 3 meter dive at the NE10s and Montanari won bronze with the 200 medley relay squad.

Two sophomores who made strong impacts as first year swimmers were Fotini Anastasiadou and Samantha Jackson. Anastasiadou helped the 800 free relay team win silver and Jackson was the bronze medalist in the 1650 free.

Saturday's meet against the Purple Knights precedes the home opener for the Falcons, which comes on Friday against Babson. Two days later they host Adelphi at the Dana Center.
A home meet against Division I Holy Cross is also on the schedule for October 30^th.

In the second half of the season the Falcons host Southern Connecticut State at the Dana Center on January 15, before the NE10 Championship meet from February 11-14 in Worcester at the WPI Sports & Recreation Center.
