BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh swimming and diving teams will look to build on last weekend's success as they travel to Lewisburg, Pa. on Saturday to square off against the Bucknell Bison at 1 p.m. The women are also in action on Sunday at Princeton. That meet will begin at 1 p.m. as well.
The men will be looking to extend their winning streak to three after two strong victories against Loyola last Saturday and NJIT on Sunday. With the wins, the men pushed their record above .500 to 5-4 on the season and 4-2 in the Patriot League. The Bison will be no easy task as Bucknell stands at 6-3 overall, including a 5-2 record at home.
The women's squad has registered a 5-3 overall record and 3-3 mark within the league. The Mountain Hawks will face a Bucknell women's squad which sports an overall record of 5-4, including a 3-3 record in the Patriot League. Sunday's opponent, Princeton, is undefeated in the Ivy League with wins again Cornell, Brown and the University of Pennsylvania.
Both teams will be led by their respective Patriot League Swimmers of the Week. Junior Courtney Patterson captured the Patriot League Female Swimmer of the Week award for her victories in the 1,000 freestyle, 500 freestyle and 200 IM against the Loyola Greyhounds. Meanwhile, sophomore Jacob Moyar was awarded Patriot League Male Swimmer of the Week for his efforts against Loyola and NJIT. Over the two meets, Moyar was twice victorious in both the 1,000 freestyle and the 200 butterfly, capturing a total of four individual victories on the weekend. His 200 medley relay team was also victorious, and set a new pool record, at NJIT Sunday.
Despite their 5-4 record, the men have found great success on the road, going 4-1 on the season with wins at Holy Cross, Colgate, Loyola, and NJIT. Conversely, the men are still seeking their first home victory at Jacobs Pool.
Saturday features the last meet against a Patriot League opponent until the Patriot League Championships begin on Feb. 18. Following this coming weekend matchup, both the men's and women's squads have one meet remaining, against Drexel on Jan. 31.
