LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Binghamton swimming & diving teams were swept in a dual meet at Bucknell on Saturday afternoon. The Bearcat men were defeated 169-132 while the women lost 221-79.

Fellow senior Amanda McGraw took top honors in the women’s one-meter event (253.43) while freshman Jade Liguori captured the three-meter event (240.48).

The other women’s first-place finisher was freshman Lauren Kuzma, who won the 200 breast (2:23.16).

“I thought our teams competed well at both ends of the pool,” head coach Jerry Cummiskey said. “On the boards, our divers continued to impress, winning all four events with multiple personal-best scores. On the swimming end, we  competed well for where we are in our training . A majority of our swims today were season bests and we are heading in the right direction. We still have more work to do but we are happy  with the progress our teams are making and their ability to meet every challenge that we put in front of them.”

Binghamton returns home to host Colgate on Friday at 5 p.m.
