Waltham, Mass. – Senior Sean Hosford (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) and junior Drew Acquaviva (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem) won two individuals each and teamed on a relay win, but the Le Moyne College men's swimming and diving team was edged by Bentley, 154-135, on Saturday afternoon at the Dana Center pool. On the women's side, junior Katie O'Donnell (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem) won two individual events and teamed on a relay victory, but the Dolphins fell to the Falcons, 172-108.
Acquaviva, the reigning Northeast-10 Conference men's swimming athlete of the week, swam the opening leg and Hosford swam third as they teamed with junior Joe Taylor (Essex Fells, N.J./West Essex) and freshman Tyler Olson (Warners, N.Y./West Genesee) to win the meet-opening 200-yard medley relay in 1:40.56. Hosford picked up his two individual victories by touching the wall first in 1:50.90 in the 200-yard freestyle and in 49.40 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle. Acquaviva was victorious in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.38 seconds and the 200-yard backstroke in 2:05.03.
