He helped the program sends its first swimmers to NCAAs in 2023-24 after a combined 15-4 dual meet record in his first season at F&amp;M. He was 35-24 overall, including 27-12 in the Centennial Conference. He coached 50 All-Centennial selections in addition to the men\u2019s 200 free relay that was named an honorable mention All-American in 2024.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/ivy-league-swimming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ivy League Swimming News<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Acquaviva\u2019s Diplomats finished no worse than fourth in his six combined Centennial Conference Championships. The men were second in 2023. The women matched a program-best third place in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am thrilled to welcome Joe to the Tiger family and can&#8217;t wait for him to get started with us,&#8221; Princeton women\u2019s head coach <strong>Abby Brethauer<\/strong> said <a href=\"https:\/\/goprincetontigers.com\/news\/2025\/9\/10\/womens-swimming-and-diving-joe-acquaviva-joins-womens-swimming-diving-as-assistant-coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a university statement<\/a>. &#8220;Having had the privilege of working with him at Tufts, I know firsthand the passion, intelligence, and energy he brings to the pool deck and I am excited for our women to have the opportunity to work with him. Joe&#8217;s background as an elite swimmer at Johns Hopkins, combined with his experience as a head coach, makes him uniquely well-suited for this role, and I couldn&#8217;t be more excited for what lies ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Much of Acquaviva\u2019s experience is in Division III. He swam there, a 2014 graduate of Johns Hopkins, where he was a 10-time All-American, a team captain, a CSCAA Scholar All-American and a member of the Blue Jays\u2019 NCAA championship 800 free relay. He started his coaching career as a graduate assistant while earning a master\u2019s degree from Hopkins\u2019 Bloomberg School of Public Health.<\/p>\n<p>He was an assistant coach at Tufts, eventually rising to become an associate head coach prior to the 2021-22 season. He led the Jumbos women\u2019s team to its first NESCAC title in 2021-22, as part of the school\u2019s Learfield Directors\u2019 Cup win that year, and the Jumbos men\u2019s squad to its first NESCAC title in 2017-18. Tufts finished seventh at NCAAs that year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Princeton Hires Franklin &amp; Marshall Coach Joe Acquaviva as Assistant Princeton University on Wednesday announced the hiring of Joe Acquaviva as an assistant coach for the women\u2019s team, with Acquaviva<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":161471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[24147,58364,61588,25798,71334,3025],"class_list":["post-622515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-college","tag-abby-brethauer","tag-franklin-marshall","tag-ivy-league-swimming","tag-joe-acquaviva","tag-ncaa-division-iii-coverage","tag-princeton"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Princeton Hires Franklin &amp;
