Gallaudet Bison

Nov 11, 2006

Men beat Goucher for first ever Capital Athletic Conference victory

November 11 -- The Gallaudet Swim Team put on an impressive performance today in the Field House pool, with the men earning their first conference win ever, beating Goucher College 107-86. Although the women were tied with Goucher 37-37 after four events, Goucher's depth, as well as illness to several key Gallaudet lady swimmers, proved too much as the talented Gophers prevailed 125-80.

"This is a great day for Gallaudet Swimming," exclaimed Head Coach Bill Snape. "Both our men and women really came through. As we continue to work hard, there will be more wins like today. We also salute the Goucher team for their sportsmanship and good competition," he added.

Leading the way for the Aqua-Bison was sophomore star Michael Hubbs, who won two individual events (50 Free and 100 Breast), and joined Scott Madsen, Kris Lauderbaugh and Ryan Kobylarz in the victorious 200 Medley Relay. Hubbs' 23.65 in the 50 was just off the team record. Also victorious was the Men's 200 Free Relay team of Madsen, Kobylarz, Clayton Anderson and David Torres (1:44), whose victory sealed the meet before a jubilant home crowd. Other men who scored crucial team points to join Gallaudet athletic lore included: Tommy Korn, Elad Cohen, Paul Donets, Mark Graves, Ricky Romero, Jim Crane, Scott Cohen, and Tyler DeShaw. "Our men's victory was a total team effort," explained Snape.

On the women's side, sophomore Jodi Winkelmann was a double winner, nabbing the 1000 Freestyle (12:47) and the 100 Backstroke (1:09.3). Also victorious were Jessica Mikolay in the 50 Free (28.4) and Julia Velasquez in the 100 Free (1.01.9). Other impressive performances were put in by Kandace Morris, Jenny Talbot, Silvia Herdicka, Marissa Larson and Susanna Krige, among others. "Our women, when healthy, are as strong and deep as Gallaudet has been in over fifteen years," noted Snape.

Before the Thanksgiving break, the Aqua-Bison have several more meets where they can garner team wins. On Friday November 17, they will swim St. Mary's College and Hood College at St. Mary's. On Sunday November 19, they will swim Penn St.-Altoona and Arcadia at Arcadia. Alumni and friends are encouraged to attend and cheer the resurgent swim team on.

"Watch out, folks, here we come," concluded Snape.
