Scranton, PA - Marywood University's men's and women's swimming programs rebounded from tough losses on Saturday to Susquehanna University with dominating performances against Cabrini College, as the men topped the Cavaliers 156-83 and the women were 162-76 victors.  The men's team improved to 3-8 while the women move to 4-9.  Cabrini fell to 4-7 (men) and 1-11 (women). For the day, Marywood placed first through third in nine total events, five on the women's side and four on the men's.

Marywood's men's and women's 200 medley relay teams got the Pacers off to strong starts as both won in the meet's first event.  On the women's side, Kayleigh Velott, Cara Cassandro, Kara Hoff and Katie Paterson touched in 2:04.32 for the win while on the men's side Michael Stauffer, Chris Brown, Andy Blevins and Daniel Adams won in a time of 1:44.61.  Marywood also finished second in the men's 200 medley relay with the team of Alex Martino, Paul Kremsner, Jason Beabout and Ryan Widenor finishing in 1:51.78. 

In the 1000 free, Paterson continued her season long domination of the event with a winning time of 12:01.56 while teammates Olivia Hower (12:29.56) and Amber Sharkey (12:56.43) finished second and third, respectively.  Marywood also took first through third in the men's 1000 free led by Haney's time of 10:40.17.  Pisano finished second with a time of 11:26.03 and Martino touched third in 11:29.08.
