LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell men's swimming & diving team was edged by Johns Hopkins, 158-133, on Friday afternoon at Kinney Natatorium.

The Bison (5-3, 4-2 Patriot League) had five individual event winners. In addition, the 200 freestyle relay squad of Leo Kuyl, Jack Rose, Matt McGoey and Matt Mills raced to a first-place finish.

Notably, Kuyl (50 freestyle), Rose (100 backstroke) and McGoey (200 IM) were among Bucknell's individual victors. The others were divers Nick Pirone (1-meter) and Garrett Sommer (3-meter).

The Bison swept the 1-meter board, with Sommer and Will Cadwallader finishing right behind Pirone.
