Hamilton, N.Y. --- The Bucknell men's and women's swimming & diving teams were both victorious over the weekend, defeating Patriot League foe Colgate in Hamilton, New York. The men improved to 6-2 overall this season with a 166-123 victory, while the women won 157-143 to improve their dual meet mark to 5-3.
On the men's side Bucknell captured nine of the 16 events, and posted 1-2-3 finishes in the 200-fly, 200-back, 200-breast, 100-free and 500-free. Freshman Jack Sheehan (Wenonah, N.J./Gateway Regional) and junior Chris Neary (Philadelphia, Pa./Central) were double-winners for the Orange and Blue. Sheehan captured both the 100- and 200-backstrokes with times of 56.07 and 1:59.82, respectively, and Neary won the 50-free (21.41) and the 100-fly (51.31).
Additional event winners for the Bison included sophomore Gonzalo Diaz (Miami, Fla./Ransom Everglades) in the 1,000-free (10:07.28), freshman Michael Harrigan (Doylestown, Pa./La Salle College) in the 200-fly (1:59.08), senior tri-captain John Ferriter (Yorktown, Va./Hampston Roads Academy) in the 100-free (48.45), sophomore Stephen Schwanhausser (Ridgefield, Conn./Ridgefield) in the 200-breast (2:15.90) and senior Bill Orendorf Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield) in the 500-free (4:54.02).
The women turned the tide of a close meet in their favor when they went 1-3-4 in the 500-free and 1-2-3 in the 100-fly, gaining a big enough advantage to topple the Red Raiders. The Bison won four individual events and the 200-Medley Relay. Junior Barbara Morgan (Toms River, N.J./Toms River) won both the 100- (1:10.37) and 200-breaststrokes (2:30.27), senior Megan Jones (Glendale, Calif./Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy) captured the 500-free (5:18.57), and senior tri-captain Molly Lowe (Hamilton Square, N.J./Steinert) won the 100-fly (1:00.40).
The men's and women's swimming and diving teams will be back in the pool this Saturday, January 27, when they host Lehigh University. Diving will begin at 12:00 noon, followed by swimming at 2:00 p.m.
