Bentley Press Release
WALTHAM, Mass. – After participating on the Falcons’ winning 200 yard medley relay to start the meet, Bentley University sophomore Kate Kaduboski (Dedham/Dedham HS) won three events, all with the best times of the young season in the Northeast-10 Conference, to power her team to a 176-122 victory over Le Moyne College in women’s swimming action Sunday afternoon at the Dana Center pool.
Bentley took a lead it never relinquished by capturing the 200 medley in a meet record 1:52.18. Kaduboski was followed into the pool by junior Emily Niemiec (Meriden, Conn./Francis T. Maloney HS), sophomore Melissa Viator (Lubbock, Texas/Lubbock HS) and senior captain Kaitlin McGahie (Boylston/Tahanto Reg. HS).
Kaduboski’s wins came in the 100 backstroke (1:01.47), 200 back (2:10.44) and the 200 individual medley (2:15.24) with each of those clockings the best in the NE-10 so far this season.
McGahie (50 freestyle, 100 free) and Viator (200 free, 100 butterfly) were both double-winners for Bentley. McGahie recorded meet records and NE-10 bests in both events with times of 24.95 and 54.90, respectively. Viator captured the 200 free in 2:01.82 and the 100 fly in 1:01.96.
Freshman Caroline Logozzo (Wethersfield, Conn./Wethersfield HS) swept the two one-meter diving events, with a combined score of 354.99.
Completing the list of winners for Bentley, which captured 13 of 16 events, were Niemiec in the 200 breaststroke (NE-10 best 2:31.42), junior Anne Warren (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron HS) in the 200 fly (2:19.25) and sophomore Brooke Jameson (Bedford/Bedford HS) in the 1000 free (11:24.70). Niemiec also had a pair of second-place finishes (200 individual medley, 100 breast).
Bentley, 1-1, will take on The College of Saint Rose next Sunday at RPI.
WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University freshman Jarod Yoshihara (Irvine, Calif./University HS) entered the pool four times Sunday afternoon and left victorious each time, leading the Falcons to a 169-131 win over Le Moyne College in men’s college swimming at the Dana Center pool.
Yoshihara’s individual wins came in the 100 yard backstroke (54.40 seconds), the 200 back (1:58.30) and the 500 freestyle (4:56.77). The latter two were both meet record times and his effort in the 100 back was the best by a Northeast-10 Conference swimmer so far this season.
The rookie won all three in convincing fashion with margins of 1.10 seconds in the 100 back, 3.15 in the 200 back and 4.02 in the 500 free.
Yoshihara began his afternoon by swimming the opening leg on Bentley’s 200 medley relay team that won in 1:39.64. That quartet also included sophomore Ryan McGeary (Paramus, N.J./ Bergen Catholic HS) and seniors Colin McCarthy (Glastonbury, Conn./Northwest Catholic HS) and Liam Bartlett (Syracuse, N.Y./William Nottingham HS).
Senior Greg Coleman (Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y./Sachem North HS) and Nick Cilia (Brentwood, N.H./Exeter N.H.) went 1-2 in the two one-meter diving events. Coleman had a combined score of 421.63 and Cilia totaled 357.30.
The other first-place finish earned by Bentley was achieved by sophomore Frank Elenio (Ridgefield, N.J./Bergen County Academies) with a time of 1:59.57 in the 200 butterfly.
The Falcons’ nine second-place performances included two from junior Jonny Boains (Unionville, Conn./Farmington HS), in the 200 individual medley (2:02.77) and the 100 free (49.08).
Bentley, off to a 2-0 start, returns to action next Sunday when it will swim against The College of Saint Rose at RPI.
