SELINSGROVE, Pa. - The Bloomsburg University men's swimming team earned its first victory of the 2018-19 season with a 156-86 win at Susquehanna University on Saturday. Nine different swimmers posted at least one victory on the afternoon and the Huskies had eight Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) qualifying marks during the meet.

Junior Jordan Wyant (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Trinity) paced the Huskies with three individual victories while redshirt junior Kyle Dix (Schwenksville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley), junior Colin Bauer (Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts), redshirt sophomore Matt Rocchi (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan), and sophomore Collin Hummel (Lewisburg, Pa./Lewisburg) each earned one individual win and were part of one winning relay foursome. Senior Matthew Schulz (Norristown, Pa./Methacton), freshman Pat Agnew (Pottstown, Pa./Pottsgrove), freshman Logan Baker (Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts), and sophomore Tyler Reed (Hereford, Pa./Upper Perkiomen) were also part of winning relay teams on Saturday.

The Huskies started the day by finishing 1-2 in the 200-yard medley relay. The "A" team of Rocchi, Dix, Schulz, and Agnew posted a time of 1:38.98 - 15-hundredths of a second faster than the "B" foursome of junior Corey Smith (Lansdale, Pa./North Penn), freshman Matt Marvin (Bloomsburg, Pa./Central Columbia), freshman Jace Fry (Palmyra, Pa./Lower Dauphin), and Wyant.
