RESULTS

NEWARK, Del. - The Drexel men's and women's swimming and diving teams returned to action on Saturday for the first team meet of the new year. The men earned a 166-134 victory over Delaware while the women fell to both Delaware, 232-68, and Northeastern, 196-104.

"Both the women and men have put in great work over the last month and it was good to see them get up and race this afternoon," said Drexel head coach Adam Braun. "I'm really proud of the way the men responded to what was a back and forth meet. I'm looking forward to what we can accomplish the rest of the season."

Freshman Joseph Brown turned in a time of 9:48.80 in the 1000 free that was a season best by 17 seconds as he finished second in the event behind a swimmer from Delaware.

Fellow freshman Ralph Cannarozzi III and senior Brian Woo teamed up to finish first and second in the 100 breast with respective times of 59.25 and 59.46.

Senior Kyle Lukens finished with two first-place victories for the Dragons. Lukens won the 100 and 200 fly events with times of 50.98 in the 100 and 1:54.48 in the 200.

Senior diver David Sanchez won both the 1m and 3m boards (on his birthday no less). His collective total on the 1m was 304.80 while his 3m score was 347.25.

The 500 free was turning point in the meet for the Drexel men. Freshman Dane Bell won the event with a time of 4:40.40 while junior Ivo Pejovic and freshman Patrick Cobb touched the wall at 4:42.54 and 4:42.64 to finish third and fourth, respectively. The finishes solidified the win for the Dragons against Delaware.

Senior Joel Berryman completed a come-from-behind win for Drexel in the 400 free relay to finish the meet. Freshman Luke Hanner, Pejovic and junior Sean Swartz swam the first three legs in the victory.

Berryman also won the 50 (21.23) and 100 (46.44) freestyle events.

For the women, junior Rachel Bernhardt finished second in the 100 breast with a time of 1:04.41. Junior Aubrey Murray earned third in the 100 free at 53.33. Sophomore Emily Joyce came in second in the 500 free, touching the wall at 5:08.06. With a time of 2:10.21, sophomore Miranda Rouse finished second in the 200 IM. The women's quartet of Murray, junior Emily Lau, junior Claudia Duguay and Bernhardt placed second in the 400 free relay at 3:36.01. The women did not pick up any individual victories as they fell to both Delaware and Northeastern on Saturday.

Drexel will now host Howard (M/W) and NJIT (M) at the Daskalakis Athletic Center on Saturday, Jan. 16 at noon.
