Jamaica, N.Y.— The John Jay women's swimming team, swimming for the first time since late November, picked up a win on Monday evening as the Bloodhounds defeated York College 98-89 at the York College Pool on Monday evening.

With the win, John Jay improves to 2-4 overall and 1-3 in City University of New York Athletic Conference meets.

The Bloodhounds fell behind early after York won the opening race (200 meter medley relay) as the Cardinals led 11-4.

But Kaili Insalaco scored a win in the 800 meter freestyle (12:58.80) to get the Bloodhounds back to within four points as they trailed 15-11.
