LYCOMING SWIM TEAMS FALL AT ALBRIGHT

READING, PA – The Lycoming College swimming teams traveled to Albright College, Saturday afternoon. Both Warrior squads fell to the Lions – the women by a score of 82-122 and the men 81-125. Lycoming’s women are now 4-3 overall, while the men drop to 5-2.

Nathan DeCapria (Fr./Jersey Shore, PA; Central Mountain) was the men’s top performer winning both the 50 and 100 freestyle races. His time of 21.79 seconds in the 50 free set a new pool record at Albright.

For the women, Kelly Sykes (Fr./Willimantic, CT; Windham) led the way by winning both the 400 IM and 200 backstroke. Rebecca Fox (So./Middletown, NJ; Middletown) added a victory in the 1000 free, and Andrea Rapach (Sr./Pittsford, NY; Pittsford Mendon) won the 50 free.

“Even though we didn’t come away with a victory, this was a good meet for us,” said Head Coach Jerry Hammaker. “We got more swimmers qualified for the conference meet on both the women’s and men’s teams and I think we’re right on schedule to do some good things in February.”

The Warriors are in action again on Wednesday, January 29, when they host Elizabethtown College for their final home meet of the season. The meet is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
