WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College swimming teams hosted Albright College, Tuesday evening, for a dual meet. Both the Warrior women and men fell to the Lions by scores of 77-126 and 82-121, respectively. Lycoming’s women are now 4-2 in dual meets this season, while the men are now 5-2.

Steve Hawley (So./New Cumberland, Pa.; Trinity) was the top Warrior performer winning the 50 freestyle with a time of 22.13 seconds.

Hawley also swam a leg on the 200-free relay team that placed first. The other relay members were Josh Hogan (Jr./Waverly, N.Y.; Waverly), Tim Roche (So./Wyndmoor, Pa.; Springfield Township), and Nathan DeCapria (So./Jersey Shore, Pa.; Central Mountain).

Lycoming’s women’s team also won the 200-free relay with a team of Kellie Cicconi (Fr./Odessa, N.Y.; Odessa-Montour Central), Kelly Sykes (So./Willimantic, Conn.; Windham), Erin Patrick (Jr./Media, Pa.; Penncrest), and Jessica Gough (Fr./Berwick, Pa.; Berwick).

“Despite the final scores, I’m pleased with how hard we swam tonight,” said Warrior head coach Jerry Hammaker. “We came into the meet tired after training hard the past two days. Yesterday we did a leg set in the morning and a ‘Super Highlander’ dropout set in the evening; then this morning we swam one hundred 100s. We’re right where we need to be at this point in the season.”

Lycoming will be in action again on Saturday, January 17, when they host the University of Scranton for a dual meet.
