The Falcons picked up where they left off last season, beating East Lyme, 103-83, in the season opener for both teams.
Last season, Fitch won its first Eastern Connecticut Conference championship in program history after finishing second to East Lyme in each of the previous six seasons.
(Fitch) hadn't caught up to us until last year, East Lyme coach Jack Stabach said. The level of competition has never been this good between these two teams and I expect the rest of the league will follow suit.
The Falcons won all but one event, with All-Americans Alivia Berg (200 freestyle, 500 freestyle), Adelaide Taylor (200 IM, 100 breaststroke), Kaley Kokomoor (50 freestyle, 100 freestyle) and Addison Koelle (100 butterfly, 100 backstroke) each winning two apiece. The foursome also made up Fitch's pool-breaking 400-yard freestyle relay team (three minutes, 48.31 seconds), while Lindsey Nolan won the diving competition. Koelle's time in the backstroke (1:01.24) also set a pool record.
