ALFRED, NY – The Alfred University men's swimming & diving team had the top finishes in every event in the pool on Saturday afternoon as the Saxons defeated Utica College, 116-40.
 
The Saxons went one-two in the 200-yard medley relay to open the day, with the first place team of William LaMastus (Maumee, OH/Anthony Wayne), Tyler Kemmet (Gloversville, NY/Gloversville), Fynn Vossler (Livonia, NY/Livonia) and Justin Jarmer (Flagstaff, AZ/Northland Preparatory Academy) combining for a time of 1:42.71.
 
Jordan Fixsen (Fairport, NY/Penfield) led Greg Simonian (Grand Island, NY/Canisius) and Andrew Yates (Naples, NY/Naples) in a clean sweep of the 200-yard freestyle, swimming a 1:53.77. Simonian clocked a 2:03.46 and Yates out-touched the wall to take third with a time of 2:04.25, defeating Utica's fourth place finisher's time of 2:04.71. Jarmer earned his second first place of the day as he won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.60.
 
Colin Schultz (Spencerport, NY/Spencerport) swam a 2:12.73 in the next event, the 200-yard individual medley, leading Kemmet in a one-two finish with Kemmet's time of 2:15.58. Emiliano Terrazas (La Paz, Bolivia/Saint Andrew's) won the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 55.68 as Vossler was right behind with a time of 57.13.
 
Jarmer spearheaded a one-two-three sweep in the uncontested 100-yard freestyle, leading Yates and Noam Sokolovsky (East Lyme, CT/East Lyme) with his time of 52.01. Fixsen led a group of Saxons in a similar race, competing against themselves as Fixsen went sub-minute in the 100-yard backstroke, racing to a 58.61 finish. They were joined by Nathan Sponenberg (Bloomsburg, PA/Central Columbia) and Andrew Guariglia (Valley Stream, NY/Valley Stream South) in the event. Guariglia posted the top time in the 500-yard freestyle but didn't earn points due to post-race exhibition.
 
The Saxons had five exhibition swimmers in the 100-yard breaststroke and one non-exhibitioned competitor. All six Saxons had faster times than the two Utica athletes as Simonian was credited with the 1:06.90 win. Schultz had the top time in the event with a 1:03.15. Both AU teams in the 200-yard freestyle relay had the top two finishes in the race but were submitted to exhibition after the race.
 
"We had some better results today, in comparison to this past Tuesday," Head Coach Brian Striker '00 said. "It was great to have a few athletes back in action and are moving in the right direction as we get into the tail end of our dual meets. Being a little bit tired, it was good to see everyone supporting each other. We have a short turnaround, swimming Hartwick tomorrow afternoon at Hartwick and are looking forward to wrapping up a tough week on a good note."
 
The Saxons will next travel to Oneonta, NY to face Empire 8 foe, Hartwick College on Saturday, January 15 for a 1:00pm start.
