Last night, Missouri State thought it had scored a one-point win against Drury. Today, Missouri State discovered a scoring error was made, and when corrected, left Drury as the one-point victor. \u00a0Missouri State announced the scoring change today.<\/p>\n
Missouri State Press Release:<\/strong><\/p>\n After the Missouri State men\u2019s swimming and diving team had been announced as the winners of Thursday\u2019s \u2018Duel in the Pool\u2019 by a 112-111 score over Drury at Breech Pool, the MSU coaching staff recognized a computer mistake made by the host in the scoring of an event. With the correction, Drury wound up with a 112-111 victory over the Bears.<\/p>\n \u201cI am super competitive and hate losing,\u201d Missouri State swimming and diving head coach Dave Collins<\/strong> said. \u201cHowever, we never want to lose sight of the fact that we are in the business of educating people. This is a teaching moment centered around integrity and doing what is right.<\/p>\n \u201cWe found an error in the scoring and there was never a question of whether or not to report it. I picked up the phone and called (Drury) coach Reynolds immediately to inform him and congratulate him on the win.\u201d<\/p>\n The scoring mistake was made in the 200-yard freestyle. Missouri State had four of the top five finishers in the event, which included the fifth-place finisher Kevin Douglas<\/strong> who had been designated with one point. In NCAA dual competition, a maximum of three swimmers per team can score points in a single event. With Douglas\u2019s swim being canceled out, the remaining point would go to sixth-place finisher, Drury\u2019s David Wong<\/strong>. That change resulted in a two-point turnaround and MSU\u2019s 112-111 victory to become a defeat.<\/p>\n \u201cLast night, Drury\u2019s men were one point better than us in what was a fantastic night of competition,\u201d Collins said. \u201cThey earned the victory. I am very proud of the young men and women I am privileged to coach and mentor on a daily basis and wouldn\u2019t trade them for the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Missouri State returns to action at 12 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at Hammons Student Center to take on No. 13\/19 Missouri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night, Missouri State thought it had scored a one-point win against Drury.
