Bronx beating

Well, the weekend started off with a win at St. Peter's and turned ugly as we entered The Bronx to take on Fordham and Rhode Island (women). We did not expect to win agaisnt Fordham on the women's side but thought we were good enough to beat Rhode Island. Obviously we were wrong. URI came ready to swim and ended up with a victory 115-118. Although we did suffer a defeat, we had some good swims. The women were lead by Miriam McGeath, who broke the school record in the 200 breast with a time of 2:22.16 and had a solid 2:09.39 in the 200 IM. Tara VanNatta and Briana Mangis also had solid times in the 200 back, swimming 2:09.82 and 2:09.31, respectively.

On the men's side, Fordham was ready and walked away with a 103.5-126.5 victory. Roman Becicka posted some fast times, winning the 1000 Free (9:39.73), 200 IM
(1:53.87) and 500 Free (4:40.44). The 200 fly was a solid event for us as Jim O'Hara recorded a 1:55.91, Dan Doyle swam a 1:58.39 and Brian Bouvier swam a 1:59.36. Chris Kobela continued to improve, swimming a 1:45.94 in the 200 Free and a 4:48.09 in the 500 free. Matt Wollenschlaeger also had a solid performance swimming a 10:00.38 in the 1000 Free

The team will now regroup, take a break away from campus as we start Thanksgiving Break and prepare for the Akron Invite.

See you around the pool,
Dave
