Men’s Swimming and Diving
The Men’s Swimming and Diving team topped University of Maine in their first win of the season Sunday. The Seawolves finished with a score of 138-103, bring their season record to 1-2, 1-0 in conference play. The 200-yard medley relay kicked off the day with a first place finish by the team consisting of Raphy Labour, Jon Sigurosson, Alexei Smirnov, and Omar Ozcan.
The men went on to sweep the 200 free, the 50 free and the 100 back. They also took two of the top three places in four events on the day. The Seawolves closed out the meet on top when the 200 free relay ‘A’ team touched in first in the last event.
On the women’s side, the Seawolves were not so successful. Despite a strong showing by Hailey Lewandoski, who swept both diving events, Stony Brook fell to Maine 140-98, bringing their season record to 0-3. Brittany Whipple, Jessica Peters and Krista Klicpera swept the 100 breaststroke to boost the team but not even a sweep of 200 free relay could bring enough points to topple Maine.
Stony Brook travels to Brooklyn Thursday to take on Iona and St. Francis.
