KINGSTON, R.I. – At the end of three days of swimming, the Roger Williams University Women's Swimming & Diving team completed the Harold Anderson Invitational hosted by the University of Rhode Island over the weekend, finishing seventh in the event. Noelle Schneider (Plymouth, Mass.) and Ellie Field (Adams, Mass.) each had standout weekends for the Hawks with both claiming a second-place finish.

Field, meanwhile, finished as the runner-up in the 50 Yard Freestyle with a time of 24:07. Both swimmers were also a part of the relay teams in the 200 Yard Freestyle and 200 Yard Medley.
