BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 6-ranked Indiana women's swimming and diving took care of business in its season-opening win over Notre Dame Wednesday (Oct. 23), winning every event in the dual meet inside the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.

Ten different Hoosiers were individual winners as IU outscored the Fighting Irish 167-134.

Sophomore transfer Miranda Grana starred in her Indiana debut, posting NCAA B cut times, unsuited, in each of her three individual victories: the 100-yard backstroke (51.62), 200-yard backstroke (1:52.81) and 100-yard butterfly (53.04). Her 100 back came in three hundredths of a second faster than her 2023 NCAA A final time, swimming for Texas A&M.

Indiana swept the springboard diving events, as sophomores Lily Witte and Ella Roselli won the 1-meter and 3-meter events, respectively. Senior Mariah Denigan won the distance freestyle swims in the 500 free (4:49.41) and 1,000 free (9:59.64) and classmate Brearna Crawford swept the breaststroke events.
