ITHACA, NY - Liberty League foe, Ithaca College, dominated past the Union College men's swimming and diving team this weekend, defeating the Dutchmen 197-97.
Despite the loss, Union's diving trio of
Sam Hoyt, Matthew Mintz and
Davis Harrington continue to show their strength throughout the league. The three Dutchmen swept both the 1 and 3 meter diving competitions, respectively. This weekend marks Hoyt's second consecutive win in the 1 meter dive.

The men's 200 medley relay team (
Owen Perks,
Tommy Han,
Nathan Hamer and
Andrew Wojtowicz) collected four points for a second place finish, touching the wall, just five second's after Ithaca's winning team, at 1:42.36.
