D.J. Craven tied that point tally with two
goals and two assists. Forward Brian

women’s swimming and diving teams
earned their first wins last week at the
Pitt-Bradford Relays. Both teams then
fell this week to Buffalo State in a hard
fought meet.
Although the men only scored 97.5
points to the Bengals 135.5 they still
swam some good races. Junior captain
Dustin Fairchild won three evens to lead
the Lions in to pool. Fair child’s biggest
win came in the 200-yard freestyle where
he finished an astonishing four seconds
faster than the second place swimmer.
Sara Breese and Jenny LaFuria both
grabbed first place finishes for the Lady
Lions. Breese won both the 50- and 100-
yard freestyle races and LaFuria brought
home the 100-yard breastroke.
Both the men and the
women go on the road for
