Both divers improved their scores from prelims by nearly 20 points (Mayorga: 15.95 and Blood: 19.85). Mayorga finished fourth with a score of 283.70 while Blood finished closely behind placing sixth with a score of 278.95. Fellow Falcon Sarah Butt just missed the finals by 3.95 points with a score of 245.95.

Retcher's Reactions
"The Falcons were led by Rayah Blood and Natalia Mayorga thanks to two sets of consistent dives. Blood was able to make it to finals after a balk. Both Mayorga and Blood improved their scores from prelims to finals. Sarah Butt just missed finals by four points with two new dives. Five of the eight MAC teams were here, and it was great to see some of our best divers compete with the best in the conference. We are excited for the 1-Meter Dive tomorrow."
Up Next
The Falcons will compete in Day Two of the UB Diving Invite in the 1-Meter Dive and Team Diving Event starting at 11 a.m.
