NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Brown men's swimming & diving team was defeated at Yale, 211-89, in an Ivy League dual meet to kick off the 2015-16 season.
"I was please with the performances of our team," said head coach Chris Ip. "A lot of freshman received their first taste of Ivy League competition. We lost many close races by a touch."
Sophomore Bryce Campanelli (Palmyra, Va.) started the Bears off with a win on the one-meter diving event, recording a final score of 281.77. Fellow sophomore Riley Springman (Orlando, Fla.) later followed and won the 200 butterfly with a time of 1:50.46. Springman also placed second in both the 100 butterfly (50.98) and the 200 IM (1:54.19).
Junior Jonathon Schlafer (Uniontown, Ohio) and senior Sazzy Gourley (Charlotte, N.C.) finished 2-3 in the three-meter diving event, with final scores of 272.10 and 268.88, respectively.
"Our coaching staff will work on adjusting our closing techniques before we compete against UMass next week," said Ip.
The Bears return to the pool to host Minutemen on Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center, starting at noon.
