NCAA Div. I: Nittany Lions Sweep West Chester

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Feb. 2. THE Penn State men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams defeated West Chester in their final home meet of the season on Sunday afternoon at McCoy Natatorium. The men defeated the Golden Rams 155-85, while the women came up strong 147-86.

The men’s team has a 4-2 record and is ranked No. 17 by the CSCAA, while women are ranked No. 20 by the CSCAA and sport an identical 4-2 record.

In his final home meet as a Nittany Lion, Matt Haupt (Carlisle, Pa.) took the title of the 200 IM with a time of 1:50.02. Junior Todd Minnier (Avon Lake, Ohio) also came up strong for the Lions with a win in the 100 and 200 Freestyle with times of 44.59 and 1:37.61, respectively.

Head Coach Bill Dorenkott stated “I thought we raced pretty well today. We haven’t been able to race 100’s of strokes very much, so it was good for our staff to be able to assess where we are training and rest wise.”

On the women’s side, seniors Katie Hostetler (Chambersburg, Pa.) and Lindsey Wilson (Novelty, Ohio) stole the crown in the 50 Free and 100 Breaststroke during their last home meet as Nittany Lions with the times of 23.66 and 1:5.28, respectively. Wilson also took the 200 IM in 2:08.64. Pennsylvania native Lisa Silvestri came up strong for the divers with the win in the 1-meter and 3-meter.

Diving Coach Craig Brown stated “I thought the last two days (Rutgers and West Chester), the kids really showed character and resiliency being that we were on the road traveling and competing back to back. They still look very fresh in their performance.”

Penn State will be back in the pool on Friday, February 7 versus the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pa.
