Syracuse, N.Y. – The Le Moyne College men's and women's swimming and diving teams earned their third straight sweep, downing Nazareth College on Friday afternoon at the Rev. Vincent B. Ryan, S.J. Pool. The women registered a 132-105 victory, while the men were 147-80 victors over the Golden Flyers.

"Today's women's meet versus Nazareth was similar to the men's meet versus Alfred on Tuesday," said head coach Adam Zaczkowski '04. "Every place was contested. Every race was all effort. We came out on top because we never quit and we always give it 100%. I'm really proud of this team. We are catching our stride at the right time. Every day we gel more and more. We have a much-deserved rest tomorrow and then we hit the ground running again next week with our last two dual meets of the season."
