The Spartan men prevailed 123-82, while the women won 118-87. Florida Southern started off the meet with wins in the 400 medley relay, and while they continued to win events throughout the meet they couldn\u2019t hold off Tampa\u2019s depth to gain an advantage.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the women\u2019s side the Spartans won six of the eleven contested events, with their depth in several events proving to be the difference. Junior <\/span><b>Britt Bayes <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">led a 1-2-3 sweep in the 1,000 freestyle (10:47.20), while senior <\/span><b>Marisa Barton <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was a double winner in the 50 (24.45) and 100 (52.92) freestyles. Sophomore <\/span><b>Brittany Murphy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">led a 1-2-3 sweep in the 200 backstroke later in the meet before the Spartan women closed with a win in the 400 free relay. The Spartan men won one more event than the women, claiming their first victory in a meet over Florida Southern since the 2010-2011 season. Senior <\/span><b>Martin Hammer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">won both of his individual events, taking first in the 50 (20.70) and 100 (46.55) freestyles, while also contributing to the winning 400 freestyle relay to close the meet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Florida Southern fell, there were still bright spots in their performance. For the women, junior <\/span><b>Peyton Breault <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">took the 200 (1:57.19) and 500 (5:15.57) freestyles, while classmate <\/span><b>Jacinda Whittenburg <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recorded wins in the 400 IM (4:34.38) and 200 (2:24.59) breaststroke. On the men\u2019s side, the Mocassins 1-2\u2019ed both the 200 free and 200 breaststroke, the former led by newcomer <\/span><b>Noah Franz, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a transfer from NC State, while also opening the meet with a win in the 400 medley relay. As defending conference champions, it will be interesting to see how this season may shake up what is a very competitive top 3 teams in the Sunshine State Conference. Florida Southern will take on Florida Tech and Keiser University next week, while Tampa will next face off against Keiser University in November.
