VESTAL, N.Y. – Binghamton hosted Bucknell in its home-opening swimming & diving meet on Saturday afternoon at the Saunders Aquatic Center. The Bison, however, swept both the men's and women's competition, winning by scores of 173-127 and 190-105 respectively.

On the men's side, the Bearcats posted a pair of double winners. Sophomore Elijah Lanfear swept both the 100 free (46.83) and the 100 fly (49.89). Junior Xiaoyu Lin, meanwhile, captured the 100 breast (57.67) and 200 breast (2:06.80).

Lanfear and Lin were also part of the first-place 200 medley relay team, which included junior Jake Vecchio and senior Ryan Maierle. The Bearcat quartet clocked a first-place time of 1:32.80.

Ryan Cohn was the other individual winner on the men's side, taking top honors in the three-meter diving event. His score was a season-best 308.70.

Lanfear, Lin and Cohn each have won a team-best three individual events so far this year.

On the women's side, Binghamton had a pair of individual winners. Freshman Celia Webster won the 200 back (2:08.92) while fellow freshman Melia Truong won the 400 IM (4:45.92). Webster now has a team-high three individual victories so far this season.

The Bearcats also won the women's 200 free relay in a time of 1:41.97. Senior Alyssa Martin was joined on that first-place team by freshman Saige Kazlauskas, Maria Pignatelli and Olivia Philbrick.

Despite the sweep by Bucknell, the Bearcats' times improved over their dual meet wins at Canisius last Saturday.

"We knew that Bucknell was a strong team," head coach Jerry Cummiskey said. "We wanted to show up, compete and be better than last week. I thought we were a little flat last week getting off the bus so I though that timewise, this was a better week for us."

Binghamton has a pair of dual meets this coming weekend. The Bearcats head to Colgate at 5 p.m. on Friday before hosting Bryant at 11 a.m. the following day.
