Ben O'Neill had a good night on the boards as well, finishing second in the 1-meter and third in the 3-meter.

Both the 400-medley and 200-free relay squads finished third.
 
QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH MIKE SMIECHOWSKI
"It was a great meet for our men. I saw a lot of things that are good going into our mid-season championships. We raced a top-tier program and won a few races. We have lots to build on."
 
"Diving picked up two huge wins and continue to improve each week. It's great to see our divers compete with confidence."
 
UP NEXT
The Bonnies return to the Reilly Center Pool Nov. 9 to take on Cornell.
