ended up finishing 2nd for the second consecutive year. richmond won again, but the gap between #1 and #2 fell from nearly 170 points to less than 75.
 

In this year's A-10 Championship Swim Meet, 57 of the 570 points earned by 1st place women's finisher Richmond Univ. came from 4th and 7th places in the 1 meter diving event (27 points) and 2nd and 6th places in the 3 meter event (30 points).  Since the Dukes did not field a diving team this season, they did not have an opportunity to score any points in these two events.  The Dukes will have a women's diving team next season which will give them a chance to earn points in the two diving events and perhaps tighten the point differential between them and Richmond, the perennial A-10 women's champion, and maybe even beat Richmond once the Dukes' diving team gets more experience.
