BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's swimming and diving team made it 23 consecutive wins over Lafayette with a convincing 196-92 win over the Leopards Friday at Jacobs Pool.

Lehigh also set five pool records on the night as the Mountain Hawks won their third straight to improve to 4-2 on the season.

"There were best times almost in every race," said Lehigh head coach Rob Herb. "Both Lehigh and Lafayette swam incredibly but Lehigh came away with the win. I am so proud of our athletes, they rose the level of competition to new heights."
