SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The Seton Hall men's swimming & diving team was in control from the outset Friday evening and dispatched visiting Iona, 159-95, in a non-league dual meet at Arthur E. Imperatore Natatorium inside Regan Rec Center in the team's first competition in over a month.
Â
The quartet of sophomore Lior Grubert (Yehud-Monosson, Israel), freshmen Joshua Tosoni (Arnold, Md.) and Connor Phillips (Cape Town, South Africa), and sophomore Dakota Williams (Noank, Conn.) opened the night with a win in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:36.23
Â
Williams capped his impressive night with victories in the 50 and 100 freestyles races with respective times of 21.80 and 47.84.
Â
Grubert took home the 1000 free after touching in 9:45.91, while sophomore Chris Tucker (Middletown, N.J.) won the 100 backstroke in 53.12 and freshman Tyler Kauth (Wall, N.J.) won the 200 back in 1:53.12.
Â
Junior Vadim Jacobson (Arnold, Md.) won the 200 and 500 free with times of 1:42.54 and 4:40.03, while junior Noah Yanchulis (Arnold, Md.) took first in the 200 butterfly (1:53.37) and 200 breaststroke (2:09.05).
Â
Freshman Tre Fissella (Lancaster, Pa.) won the 100 breast in 58.75, more than two seconds ahead of the next finisher.
Â
"I'm very pleased coming off a very heavy week of training," said head coach Ron Farina. "It's the first time we've been in the water to race in nearly two months. It's good for them to work the kinks out as we gear up for the homestretch."
Â
Looking ahead, The Hall will travel to Rider next Friday for a 4:00 p.m. dual meet with the Broncs.
