Swimming and Diving Continue Home Schedule, Hosting Binghamton Saturday

The Canisius swimming and diving teams continue their home schedule Saturday, welcoming Binghamton to the Burt Flickinger Center. The meet between the Golden Griffins and Bearcats is slated to start at noon in downtown Buffalo.

Canisius opened its home schedule on Oct. 24, hosting Geneseo in a dual meet at the Burt Flickinger Center. The Geneseo women claimed a 164.5-135.5 win, while the Knights men won by a final score of 153-147.

In the women's event, freshman Emma Cwiklinski and Isla Ho collected a pair of wins. Cwiklinski opened the meet with a first-place finish in the 1000 free (10:55.04), before claiming first in the 500 free (5:19.85). Ho swept the fly events, winning the 200 fly (2:09.36) and 100 fly (56.92) on Saturday.

Senior Evie Leighton collected a pair of victories for the second straight meet, winning the 200 free in 1:54.55 before taking first in the 100 free with a time of 53.41. Graduate student Carla Nevi also collected her first two wins as a Golden Griffin, taking first in the 200 back (2:12.11) and the 200 individual medley (2:12.46).

On the men's side, senior Elliot Somers added two victories, touching the wall first in the 200 free with a time of 1:44.72 before claiming the 100 fly in 51.22.

After garnering Metro Swimmer and Rookie of the Week honors last week, freshman Alex Velicico followed it up by sweeping the back events against Geneseo, winning the 100 in 52.54 before taking the 200 in 1:54.98.
