BETHLEHEM, Pa. — It wasn't the result they were looking for, but the Lehigh men's swimming and diving team left Jacobs Pool with their heads held high after falling to Army West Point 203.5-96.5 on Senior Day Friday afternoon.
Â
The loss drops the Mountain Hawks to 5-2 on the season, snapping their five-meet win streak dating back to Oct. 6 at Boston U. The Black Knights are also now 48-0 all-time against Lehigh.
Â
Lehigh got its first victory in the 200 free event with junior Walker Wilson getting the win with a time of 1:40.11, beating out Army's Kevin Lin (1:40.30). Wilson also won the 500 free with a winning time of 4:33.27. Wilson finished in second place in the 50 free with a time of 21.37.
Â
The Mountain Hawks took the final event of the afternoon, the 400 free relay, with a winning time of 3:07.16, thanks to Joey Rogers, Greg Giannella, Max Goldenberg and Wilson.
Â
Second-place finishes were a common theme for Lehigh, who struggled to get past a very quick Black Knight team, who have shown their dominance on many occasions this season.
Â
The team of Owen Thomas, Tyler Christ, Teddy Smith and Giannella took second in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:34.05.
Â
Kevin Fleck and Greg Gardner finished in second and third place with a time of 9:38.27 and 9:44.99, respectively in the 1000 free.
Â
Thomas swam a 52.67 in the 100 back for second place, while Rogers tied for second with Army's Nate Hein in the 100 free with a 47.43.
Â
In diving, Tyler Keller finished in second place in the one-meter dive with a score of 263.69. He also placed second in the three-meter with a 258.75.
Â
"We had huge, huge efforts and great results, but the Army men are tough as nails," said head coach Rob Herb. "It was great to compete and even catch a few wins on the day."
Â
Lehigh will attempt to close out the dual meet schedule on a high note when the Mountain Hawks visit Bucknell on Jan. 26.
