BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Trying to pick up a win in its first meet back since winter break, the Lehigh men's swimming and diving fell just short, suffering a 140-139 loss to Marist Saturday afternoon at Jacobs Pool in the home finale.

"On paper, we were expected to lose by almost 40 points," said head coach Rob Herb. "Our men put everything on the table and just fell by one point. We have so much to be proud of in this effort."

It all came down to the relays, which Lehigh placed first in the 400-yard medley relay, but the Red Foxes won the 400-yard freestyle relay to help pull off the victory on Saturday.

The 400-yard medley relay group of Ben Kisker, Jack Devilbiss, Aaron Williams and Tim Norris captured a victory after finishing in first with a time  of 3:26.00.

Williams and Kisker both tallied individual wins for Lehigh. Kisker won both the 100-yard backstroke (51.55) and the 200-yard backstroke (1:54.56). Williams won the 50-yard freestyle (21.61).

Junior diver Jack Grotke picked up his first collegiate wins on Saturday as he won the one-meter dive (140.78) and the three-meter dive (149.25 points). 

Connor Goodyear scored 10 individual points for Lehigh as he tallied a second-place mark in the 200-yard freestyle (1:43.30) and two third-place finishes in the 200-yard butterfly (1:57.53) and the 500-yard freestyle (4:53.79). 

First-year Carson Morris added eight more points for Lehigh with second-place marks in the 100-yard breaststroke (58.94) and the 200-yard breastroke (2:09.12). 

The Mountain Hawks had a two-three-four punch in the 100-yard freestyle, with Sean Davis taking second (10:11.96), Owen Highinbotham taking third (10:15.65), and Alfredo Figeuroa finishing it off in fourth (10:33.33)

The Mountain Hawks will wrap up the dual meet slate on Jan. 27 at Bucknell.
