VESTAL, N.Y. – Freshman
Justin Meyn won three individual events, highlighting Binghamton's sweep against Canisius in a swimming & diving dual meet on Saturday afternoon at the Saunders Aquatic Center. The Bearcat women (3-1) beat the Golden Griffs 207-93 while the men took a 167-131 decision.
"It was a full team effort on both sides," head coach
Jerry Cummiskey said. "Our depth made the difference, especially in the men's meet when we lost the first five events but took places 2-4. After that, we had some good first-place performanes. The women took 1-2 in the first relay and held true the rest of the day. Both teams did a great job top to bottom."
