POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – Sophomores
Courtney Moane,
Marley Zimmerman and
Liam Murphy as well as senior Chris Egan each won two individual events, highlighting Binghamton's split against at Marist in a swimming & diving dual meet on Saturday afternoon. The Bearcats men's team took a 151-149 decision while the women fell short by a 158-142 margin.
"Today's meet was a very competitive one and we are happy with the way our team competed and battled until the end," head coach
Jerry Cummiskey said. "In close meets like today, every place counts and I think we did a good job getting our hand on the wall. I thought we started a little flat but were able to get in a groove through the middle of the meet. There are definitely some areas we can improve upon but we are happy with how we competed overall."
