RESULTS
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Jack Krug led a big day for the Bucknell divers with a pair of wins, and Chris Kopac, Andy Dorsel, and Alex Crossing were also victorious for the Bison, but it wasn't enough as a strong Loyola men's swimming and diving squad jumped out to an early commanding lead and never looked back in 194-106 verdict on Friday afternoon at Kinney Natatorium.
Krug's impressive performance included a personal-best score in the 1-meter diving competition. His 295.65 tally moved him into a tie for second on Bucknell's all-time performers list. Adam Freeman's school record of 318.15 has held up since 2005, and Krug is now level with David Magaro (2010) for the No. 2 spot. Krug had been fifth all-time with a previous PR of 281.90, set at last year's Patriot League Championships.
Teammate Jackson Vinarub was second in the 1-meter event with a solid 280.13, and then on the 3-meter board it was nearly a dead heat between Krug (290.85) and Vinarub (290.70) for the top two spots, with Connor Thurston (268.65) making it a 1-2-3 Bucknell sweep.
Kopac notched his team-leading sixth victory of the season with a close win over Loyola's Hayden Bartz in the 200-yard freestyle. Later in the day, Crossing out-touched Bartz by a mere .24 seconds in the 500 free in one of the best races of the day.
Dorsel closed out the individual events with a win in the 200 individual medley, with teammate Dante Buonadonna finishing second. Dorsel also had a runner-up finish in the 200 breaststroke.
Bucknell had a strong 50 free, with Finn Russell and Justin DiSanto taking second and third. DiSanto also came back to finish third in the 100 free.
Loyola, which improved to 6-2 on the season with its only losses to LSU and Navy, turned in five 1-2-3 finishes and went 1-2 in three other events.
Next up for the Bison is their Senior Day meet against Lehigh next Saturday at Kinney Natatorium.
