Cleveland, Ohio The men's swimming team continued to dominate as they won all 13 events on Friday (Nov. 2) against St. Bonaventure as they downed the Bonnies 160-82. The victory improves the Vikings record to 3-0 on the season

"I am very proud of the young men for winning every event this evening," head coach Wally Morton said. "We have a great deal of respect for St. Bonaventure and to win like this says something about our kids. St. Bonaventure is one heck of a swim program."

Dan Baiko remained undefeated and qualified for the NCAA dive zone as he won the 1-meter (296.35) and the three-meter (3:21.30) boards.

"Dan is working very hard this year," diving coach Rich Karban said. "He improves on a weekly basis and strives to get better. I've never been around an athlete who wants to improve more."

Zvonimir Androic had a great meet for the Vikings as he won the 200 backstroke (1:54.00) and helped the 400 medley relay team to a first place finish (3:27.41).

"Zvonimir had his best time in the 200 backstroke," Morton said. "He also had his first swim in the 200 IM with a very respectable time of 2:00.65 on his way to a fourth place finish."

Dave Duecker won the 1000 (9:50.28) and the 500 freestyle (4:45.58).

"Duecker is a fun swimmer to watch," Morton said. "He keeps on getting better on a weekly basis."

Todd Winchell finished first (1:43.88) while Marko Milenkovic placed second (1:43.63) in the 200 yard freestyle.
