The men's team took the medicine that Cleveland State administered to them last year in Cleveland and gave them their own dose today at the Reilly Center Pool with a solid 141-100 victory over CSU. In last years meet the Bonnies were denied a single event victory but today, seven event titles and a total team effort were the factors in securing the victory. CSU, who was coming into the meet with a 2-0 record and a returning NCAA qualifier were stunned by a young SBU team that just kept throwing punches. The swimmer of the meet for the Bonnies was undoubtedly Yi Liu, a freshman from Toronto Canada who chopped down Jakub Dobies, CSU's NCAA Qualifier, in the 200 IM then followed it up after the diving break with a victory over CSU's stud distance swimmer Mark deSwardt in the 200 fly. Speaking of diving, SBU's divers, Ryan Pietrzak, John Larson and Trevor Herzog, threw the edge to the Bonnies by dominating CSU's only entry on the boards by handing him an SBU sweep of 1-2-3 on both boards. The 200 strokes were very solid all the way around today and there are a lot of happy swimmers but there are still plenty of areas for improvement but todays results should give them all solid reason to press even harder in practice. There were multiple personal bests once again achieved today with the most notables being Yi Liu's 200 IM and 200 fly, Jake Greene, Peter Koenig and Rob Erickson's 200 backs, David Kundzik's 50 free, Chris Happel's 200 fly and Pat Henahan's 100 free.

Results look great guys! Way to go. I know every one of us alums love when we can give Wally the Wunkler a pounding. I'll never forget my freshman year when we 1-2-3'd the 50 and Wally took his team into the locker room and started screaming at them. Great meet boys!
