STATEN ISLAND, NY – The College of Staten Island men's and women's swimming and diving teams hosted FDU-Florham and Hunter College last Friday, with both teams earning a sweep of their respective meets. Following their performances, the Dolphins earned a pair of Northeast-10 (NE10) Rookie of the Week honors, as Alandra Dublin and Ahmed Abdelrehim were recognized for their efforts in the pool.

For the women, Dublin played a key role in both relay and individual events. The first-year Dolphin contributed to two relay victories, serving as the anchor in the 200 medley relay and the leadoff swimmer in the 400 freestyle relay. The 200 medley relay team finished with a time of 1:54.72, while the 400 freestyle relay team took first place in 3:54.13. In individual competition, Dublin won the 50 freestyle in 25.05, finishing just shy of the program record, before adding another first-place finish in the 100 freestyle with a time of 55.24.

Abdelrehim made his season debut in the pool last Friday and made an immediate impact. He helped the Dolphins' 200 medley relay team finish second with a time of 1:48.03. Individually, the rookie competed in the 200 and 100 butterfly events, earning first-place finishes in both. He completed the 200 butterfly in 2:09.88 before winning the 100 butterfly in 56.26.

The College of Staten Island men's and women's swimming and diving teams will return to the Tank this Friday to host their first NE10 opponents of the season. Both teams will face Adelphi University, while the men's team will also compete against Felician University.
