Navy Falls to Harvard, 188-112

BOSTON, Massachusetts, January 6. DESPITE Navy men's swimming & diving senior Kevin Teague (Lexington, Ky.) winning both diving events, Harvard defeated the Mids for the first time this season, 188-112, at Blodgett Pool on Saturday afternoon. Navy falls to 11-1 overall and 3-1 in EISL action, while Harvard upped its mark to 5-1, 4-1 in league action.

"We had a lot of close races today," stated Navy head coach Bill Roberts. "We raced really well but it was not enough. Harvard was certainly ready for us today and proved to be the better team. We have some work to do before next weekend."

Teague posted a 274.88-point performance on the one-meter board and claimed victory on the three-meter springboard with a 325.95-point performance. With the wins, Teague improved to 18-2 combined on both boards this season and 109-7 in his career.

Navy's other event victory came from senior Kevin Mukri (Silver Spring, Md.) in the 200-yard backstroke, as he registered a time of 1:50.82.

Freshman Cody Reeb (St. Louis, Mo.) produced two solid performances in the distance freestyle events on Saturday. Reeb placed third in the mile swim with a time of 16:00.92 and finished third with a 4:41.82 clocking in the 500-yard freestyle.

Sophomore Billy Vey (Huntersville, N.C.) posted a season-best time in the 400-yard individual medley with a time of 4:07.57 and also finished fourth in the 100-yard backstroke.

The Midshipmen return to action next Saturday when they travel to New Haven, Conn., to take on EISL foes Cornell and Yale at 12 noon.
