Men's Swimming Conquers Susquehanna on Senior Night

Full Results

BLOOMSBURG – The Bloomsburg University men's swimming team honored its six senior members and then celebrated a victory over visiting Susquehanna, 114-78, on Senior Night at Nelson Field House Pool.
 
Before events got underway, the Huskies spotlighted seniors Aaron Cancro (Limerick/Spring-Ford), Joe Kotinsly (Mechanicsburg/Mechanicsburg), Matt Ortlieb (North Wales/North Penn), Brandon Sherbo (Etters/Red Land), Cole Underwood (Collegeville/Perkiomen Valley) and Tyler Washington (Doylestown/Central Bucks West) before they competed in their final home meet.
 
Once the action began, the wins came quick and often for the Huskies.
 
Cancro teamed with Tyler Gross (Pottstown/Pottsgrove), Josh Grzech (Mountain Top/Crestwood) and Pat Stasio (Horsham/Hatboro Horsham) for a victory in the 400-yard medley relay with a time of 3:33.74.
 
One of the Huskies youngest members turned in a stellar showing in the 1000 free as freshman Alex McCullough (Pottstown/OJ Roberts) won with a 10:12.40 in his first time swimming the event. That time is also the 14th fastest in the PSAC this season. Teammate Sam Feiser (Pottstown/OJ Roberts) finished second at 10:27.91, also a PSAC cut time.
 
Cole Underwood (Collegeville/Perkiomen Valley) then turned in a lifetime best unrested in-season effort in the 200 free with a winning time of 1:47.95, a PSAC qualifying cut time. Brandon Sherbo (Etters/Red Land) also met the conference qualifying standard by finishing second at 1:50.44.
 
Bloomsburg captured the top two spots in the 50 free as well with Feiser winning with his mark of 21.73, just beating Alex Otero (Allentown/Parkland) who was second at 22.25, with both men meeting the PSAC qualifying standard.
 
Jake Harner (Philadelphia/Father Judge) touched first in the 200 IM with his winning time of 1:58.55 and Nolan Schneider (Flemington/Hunterdon) gave the Huskies another victory in the 100-yard butterfly at 53.54, both easily surpassing conference marks.
 
Harner won again in the 100 free at 48.57 while McCullough was second at 49.22, again with both meeting conference qualifying marks.
 
Cancro and Otero gave the Huskies another 1-2 finish with the senior touching first at 53.63 and Otero second at 55.19.
 
Also in the 100 breaststroke, sophomore Eric Usbeck (Lake Ariel/Wallenpaupack Area) turned in a lifetime best unrested in-season effort of 58.89.
 
"We had some outstanding swims tonight, especially coming off our winter training in Florida," head coach Stu Marvin said. "The team is physically tired, but they swam very well."
 
The Huskies return to action Jan. 30 at IUP.
