NEWARK, DEL. – The Seton Hall men's swimming and diving team fell to Delaware, 192-108, in its second meet of the weekend.

Diving
In a rare occurrence this season, Nick Graham did not claim overall victory in the three-meter board. Instead, Graham earned second place, by 7.80 points, with a score of 342.15 points. After Graham, Trevor Post was the next highest-placing Pirates with a score of 307.50 points.

Then in 1-meter board, Graham once again earned second place with a score of 296.70 points. This time, however, the second-best Pirate was Quinn Murtha. Murtha's score of 289.73 points was a few points off his score from the prior day against Wagner.

Swimming
The Pirates opened the individual program with a dominant 1-2 finish in the 1000 Freestyle. Clil Halevi put up a time of 9:32.88, while BIG EAST Champion Sean Vizzard earned second-place honors with a time of 9:34.76. The duo would race again in the 500 Freestyle, but neither claimed overall victory. Instead, Halevi touched the wall second with a time of 4:42.07 and Vizzard in third with a time of 4:44.14.

While Halevi and Vizzard didn't earn a pair of wins, Kevin Cary earned a pair of dominant wins in his two events. First, in the 200 Freestyle, Cary came back from a half-second deficit after two laps to win with a time of 1:39.53, almost two-and-a-half seconds clear of second place. The 200 IM was a similar story. Once again. Cary came back thanks to a dominant backstroke leg to win with a time of 1:53.27, over two second clear of second place.

The only other Seton Hall swimmer to collect a pair of wins on the day was Michael Klimaszewski. The BIG EAST Champion continued his supremacy in both Butterfly events. In the 200 Butterfly, a dominant second 100 from Klimaszewski earned him a one-second victory and a time of 1:52.57. He later won the 100 Butterfly, also by a second, with a time of 49.45.

While Toma Adam did not earn a win, he found his way into key point-scoring positions. Adam finished second in the 50 Freestyle with a time of 21.09, before quickly following that up minutes later with a third-place finish in the 100 Freestyle with a time of 46.98.

Throughout the meet, other Pirates found their way onto the podium. Chris Jackson finished second in the 100 Backstroke; Ben Endersby finished third in the 100 Breaststroke; Jake Karulf finished third in the 200 Butterfly and Balint Marosi earned third place in the 200 Backstroke.

What's Next
