Cabrini University Athletics

Freshman women’s swimming student-athlete Christina Melchiorre has been named CabriniAthletics.com Student-Athlete of the Week for the week ending Sunday, October 20.  The rookie made a splash in her collegiate debut on Saturday.   

Melchiorre led the women’s swim team to a season-opening 70-18 win over FDU-Florham with victories in the 100 and 200 yard freestyles.  The freshman's time of 2:03.03 in the 200 freestyle cut over two seconds from the previous school record.  

The rookie also joined senior Lauren Ciccariello, freshman Bella Badolato and senior Elyse Phillips to finish third in the 200 yard freestyle relay.

Melchiorre and the Cavaliers will return to the pool on Saturday as they head west to Bradford, Pa. to face AMCC rival Pitt-Bradford at 1:00 p.m.
