Scranton, Pa. - The Marywood University swimming teams both saw success in a sweep of Immaculata University Saturday in Atlantic East Conference action. The Pacers' men edged the Mighty Macs with a 107-104 comeback win, and the women posted a comfortable 155-94 victory.

The men's 200 free relay captured the victory on the final race of the afternoon. The relay of Dylan Hervieux, Cameron Gorman, Joey Slish and Jason Lee defeated the Mighty Macs by 4.69 seconds.

Gorman's 23.94 split time lifted the Pacers to win the race with a time of 1:39.61.

Gorman picked up wins in both the 200 free (1:53.10) and the 50 free (23.71). In the latter race, Gorman outtouched his opponent by a mere seven-hundredths of a second.
