HAMILTON – Ryan Jee, Owen McCabe, and Neil Nejame captured first-place finishes in Colgate's 179-155 loss to Holy Cross on Wednesday inside Lineberry Natatorium.

COACH PRETRE'S COMMENTS
 
"The goal of today, after a very, very hard training camp, was grit, being smart, and composed. Both teams demonstrated that today. We just have to keep putting the pedal to the metal. If we do that we're going to set ourselves up for a great end of the year of going fast."

HOW IT HAPPENED

Jee picked up the win in the 100-yard fly, touching the wall with a time of 51.53, edging Holy Cross second-place finisher by just over a second. Jee took second place in the 100-yard breast with a time of 1:00.09, two seconds off the leader from Holy Cross. 

McCabe's victory came in the 1-meter dive after earning a score of 268.90. He beat two Holy Cross divers (226.65 and 182.03) to claim the top spot. 

Nejame won the 100-yard back with a time of 54.63, narrowly edging his teammate Emmet Santry who took third place after touching the wall in 55.36. 

UP NEXT
Colgate hosts Boston University on Saturday for its final home meet of the season on Saturday. The Raiders will celebrate their seniors prior to the 12 p.m. start time from Lineberry.
