Meet Results

TROY, NY (November 12, 2011) -- The Vassar College men's swimming and diving team suffered its first loss of the season at the hands of Liberty League rival Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) by a score of 174-126 on Saturday.

“Victories were hard to grab on the men's side but when Vassar had a chance for victory it capitalized,” said head coach Lisl Prater-Lee. "We had some highlights today.  We know we can have more highlights next week against New Paltz."

The Brewers (2-1) host the cross-river rival SUNY New Paltz on Saturday, November 12, at 1:00 p.m. at Kresge Pool.
