Pleasantville, N.Y. – Junior Drew Acquaviva (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem) won two individual events and teamed on two relay wins as the Le Moyne College men's swimming and diving team edged Pace, 149-145, on Saturday afternoon at the Goldstein Fitness Center. On the women's side, junior Katie O'Donnell (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem) won two individual events, but the Dolphins fell to Pace, 80-60, and to Assumption, 73-66.
Acquaviva swam the opening leg as he teamed with junior Joe Taylor (Essex Fells, N.J./West Essex), senior Sean Hosford (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) and freshman Tyler Olson (Warners, N.Y./West Genesee) to win the meet-opening 400-yard medley relay in 3:42.52. To close out the meet, Olson, Acquaviva and Hosford teamed with sophomore Scott Thieke (Jamesville, N.Y./Jamesville-DeWitt) to win the 400-yard freestyle relay in a season-best 3:18.74. Individually, Acquaviva captured the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.13 seconds and the 200-yard backstroke in 2:01.38. Hosford touched the wall first in 22.92 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle. Taylor registered the win in the 100-yard breaststroke with a season-best time of 1:05.05, while sophomore Tim Gallivan (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) recorded the top time in the 200-yard butterfly with a season-best time of 2:13.65.
For the second straight week, O'Donnell recorded Le Moyne's only two individual swimming wins of the meet. She hit the wall first in the 200-yard backstroke in a season-best 2:08.72 to win by almost four seconds. She later captured the 200-yard IM in a season-best 2:13.56 to edge Assumption's Monique Haney by just 0.01 seconds. Junior Meghan Shea (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee/U. of Bridgeport) scored 225.00 points to win the three-meter diving event.
