LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – The Rider Broncos topped the Lehigh men's swimming and diving team on Saturday, 180-118. With the loss, the Mountain Hawks now have a 3-1 mark.
"I'm disappointed for the men," stated head coach Rob Herb. "They put forth such a strong effort, but they just couldn't come up with the touches today."
The 400 freestyle relay team was fantastic for Lehigh on Saturday. The team of Walker Wilson, Caleb Eberly, Greg Giannella and Glenn Lasco compiled a fast time of 3:07.52.
The senior Wilson also won an individual event as well. In the 500 free, Wilson won with a time of 4:37.20.
Picking up his first collegiate win, freshman Andrew Sukach was the fastest in the 200 butterfly. Sukach recorded a time of 1:53.95, while Collin Hanlon won the 1000 free with a tme of 9:49.29.
The sophomore Lasco also picked up two close second-place finishes. In the 50 free, Lasco had a time of 21.35, followed by a time of 46.48 in the 100 free. In the 200 free, the captain Wilson finished second with a time of 1:42.11.
In diving, Addison Cochran placed third in the 3-meter dive with a score of 255.00. In the 1-meter dive, Tyler Keller finished third with a score of 209.32.
"We had a really tough weekend," claimed Herb. "To have a workout Friday morning, then race at West Chester in a tri-meet, and then race a tough Rider team 18 hours later, it was a grueling weekend."
Up next, the Mountain Hawks will take time to refresh their bodies and prepare for Loyola Maryland next Saturday inside Jacobs Pool.
"We are very excited to get rest and to take on Loyola in front of our great fans," concluded Herb.
