TOWSON, Md. - Competing in its first home meet of the season, the Towson University men's swimming and diving team earned a pair of victories over William & Mary (final score of 150-134) and Georgetown University (221-75) Saturday at Burdick Pool.

The Tigers saw strong performances from Matt McKenney, Matt Lowe, John Gartland, Sawyer Martin and Brandon Ress. All five won events for Towson.

McKenney led the Tiger effort, winning the 100-yard butterfly (49.77), 200-yard butterfly (1:51.81) and swimming anchor on the winning 400-yard freestyle relay (3:05.98).

"Matt was unbelievable today," Head Coach Pat Mead said. "Winning the 100-fly and 200-fly, anchoring the 400-free relay. Having the pressure to anchor that relay and to finish the way he did, he did great."

Lowe won the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:36.96. He was also impressive in the 200-yard butterfly, finishing second (1:52.44) and in the 1000-yard freestyle (third-place, 9:45.40).

Gartland earned a victory in the 100-yard breaststroke, finishing with a time of 57.31.

"Nick Essing was huge by diving today," Mead said. "If he had not dove, we wouldn't have won today. So him stepping up and looking to contribute in diving was unbelievable.

"Matt Sieffert, also diving, was tremendous. He had some good swims today as well," Mead said.

The men's win over Colonial Athletic Conference (CAA) rival William & Mary, came down to the final relay of the day, the 400-yard freestyle relay.
