Bentley Press Release

BRISTOL, R.I. – Freshman Jarod Yoshihara (Irvine, Calif./University HS) posted a pair of wins and swam the fastest 200 yard backstroke in the Northeast-10 Conference this season as Bentley University stayed undefeated with a 142-100 win over Roger Williams University in men’s swimming action Friday night at the RWU Aquatics Center.

Yoshihara’s winning time of 1:56.77 in the 200 back bettered the NE-10 best of 1:57.72 that he set back on Oct. 22. His other victory came in the 200 freestyle as he just edged out teammate Aidan Karam (Norwich, Conn./Norwich Free Academy) by two-hundredths of a second with a time of 1:46.75.

His win in the 200 was one of four that Bentley had in the freestyle events. Freshman Dan Sausto (Slingerlands, N.Y./Doane Stuart School) captured the 1,000 in 10:41.99 with the Falcons going 1-2-3 in that one. Karam won the 100 in 48.52 and sophomore Ryan McGeary (Paramus, N.J./Bergen Catholic HS) touched first in the 500 (4:55.64).

The other winners for the Falcons were senior Nick Cilia (Brentwood, N.H./Exeter HS) in the one-meter diving (202.87) and sophomore Frank Elenio (Ridgefield, N.J./Bergen County Academies) in the 200 butterfly (2:02.29).

Bentley also finished first in the 200 free relay with that quartet consisting of seniors Liam Bartlett (Syracuse, N.Y./William Nottingham HS) and Davis Wilson (Ransom Canyon, Texas/ Lubbock HS), junior Chris Vukas (Randolph, N.J./Randolph HS) and freshman Alper Alkaya (Milan, Italy).

Bentley, 4-0, returns to action next Friday night at  Brandeis.

BRISTOL, R.I. – Senior Kaitlin McGahie (Boylston, Mass./Tahanto Reg. HS) and sophomore Melissa Viator (Lubbock, Texas/Lubbock HS) both won two individual races and combined to help the Falcons to a win in the 200 yard free relay as Bentley University pulled out a 127-105 win over Roger Williams University in women’s college swimming at the RWU Aquatics Center Friday night.

Bentley won 11 of 13 events, including the last ten, to improve to 3-1 on the season.

Viator and McGahie both experienced success in the freestyle events. Viator swam the two longest distances, the 1000 and the 500, and posted winning times of 11:03.45 and 5:21.00. McGahie spent a lot less time in the pool, winning the 50 in 25.06 and the 100 in 54.97.

They finished the meet by combining with sophomore Hannah Rauch (Orchard Park, N.Y./ Orchard Park HS) and junior Emily Niemiec (Meriden, Conn./Francis T. Mahoney HS) to win the final relay in 1:42.75.

Sophomore Kate Kaduboski (Dedham, Mass./Dedham HS) had another strong meet as she won the 400 individual medley (4:40.86) and the 200 backstroke (2:09.62). Both times were the best recorded by a Northeast-10 Conference swimmer so far this season.

Freshman Caroline Logozzo (Wethersfield, Conn./Wethersfield HS) captured both diving events with scores of 184.27 from the one-meter board and 180.15 from the three-meter.

The Falcons’ other wins were recorded by junior Anne Warren (Ellicott City, Md./ Mt. Hebron HS) in the 200 butterfly (2:17.00) and Niemiec in the 200 breaststroke (2:31.62).

Bentley also is in action next Friday with a 6 pm meet at Brandeis University.
