The LSU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams suffered defeats at Auburn on Friday, but a freshman diver made waves of her own in her first collegiate meet.

The Tigers (1-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) lost to Auburn (2-0, 2-0 SEC) in their first competition since Sept. 22 by a score of 213-87, and the Lady Tigers (2-1, 1-1 SEC) lost by a score 218.5-78.5.

LSU freshman Cassie Weil, though, swept the women’s springboard events – the only two events LSU would win – with a score of 289.13 on the 1-meter and program-best 372.68 mark in the 3-meter.

“Cassie Weil was truly the standout of the meet,” said LSU diving coach Doug Shaffer. “Her debut performance was phenomenal. She won the three-meter event by over 75 points.”

Weil bested the program record of 366.85 set last year by sophomore diver Alex Bettridge.

Bettridge and Weil were among six LSU divers to earn their NCAA Zone Qualifying scores at Auburn, along with senior Elle Schmidt and juniors Sean McKinney, Daniel Helm and Kevin Leong.

“I’m extremely pleased with the performance of the divers because I set very high expectations that in most cases were met,” Shaffer said. “Overall, our performance was very good for our first dual meet.”

LSU swim coach Dave Geyer said the women’s squad is still growing into its expectations and that the men’s squad swam well in its first meet in nearly a month.

“Coming in, we knew that we would have to shake off some of the rust since this was our first meet,” Geyer said. “There were a number of close races that if we had the opportunity to come back and race tonight, we would be faster.”

The Lady Tigers travel to Tulane on Oct. 26 and will host North Carolina State the following day at the LSU Natatorium. The Tigers don’t compete until a home dual meet against Alabama on Nov. 2.
