Freshman Matthew Mays (St. Croix, Virgin Islands) was honored with the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Swimmer of the Week after his record-setting performances against Bucknell on Friday night at the Chace Athletic Center Pool.

Mays again won all four of his races this weekend against Bucknell and was a part of two pool-record efforts. He set his second individual record in as many meets as a Bulldog, swimming a 1:52.43 time in the 200 back and then was part of the team’s 400 free relay who set a pool record in the meet’s final event.

Along with those two races, he clocked in first-place finishes in the 200 free and 200 fly in a Bulldogs 199-89 victory over the Bison.

Mays is the first swimmer since Ben Schulte (Tumon, Guam) in 2014 to win a weekly award from the MAAC and the first freshman to win an award in program history.

The Bulldogs are back in action on Friday night when they take on in-state rival Providence, with the first race commencing at 6:00 p.m. at the Chace Athletic Center Pool.
