SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Sam Adelson and
Nick Pompo swept the diving events, and
David Brophy captured two of Colgate's six victories in a narrow 122-119 victory over Le Moyne on Friday evening. The swimmers competed in Syracuse, while the divers faced off in Hamilton and helped push the Raiders to the win.
COACH KUGELMAN'S COMMENTS
"This group of divers keeps impressing me meet after meet. After being on the road and competing three weekends in a row, having a rest week going into this one made a huge difference. Our men scored significant points that helped secure the team win, and our women were equally impressive. They continue to push each other, improve every week, and it's showing both in their dives and how they carry themselves on the pool deck. I couldn't be prouder and can't wait to see how the rest of the weekend goes!"
