FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Fairfield University swimming and diving teams will return home for a dual meet with Providence College on Saturday. The Stags and the Friars divers will start things with their competition at 10 am while the swimmers will begin around 1 pm.

Williamson's performance earned her the Metro Conference Rookie of the Week, one of three Stags to garner weekly accolades from the conference. Williamson secured the best times in the 50 freestyle (24.40) and the 100 freestyle (53.39).

Luca Sandri also collected the Metro Conference Rookie of the Week award after taking first in the 50 freestyle (21.40) and second in the 100 free (46.36). Andrew Cataldo closed out the weekly honors for the Stags by receiving the Diver of the Week nod, scoring the highest point total in the 3-meter (260.85) and a runner-up total in the 1-meter (252.68).
