ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – Six different Bonnies scored event victories as St. Bonaventure men's swim and dive cruised to a 163-137 win over Cleveland State, handing the Vikings their first dual meet loss of the season.
 
Prior to Friday's swim events, the Bonnies honored their six graduating seniors: Alexander Behr, Dylan Cachia, Aidan Kreiley, Mikolaj Synowiec, Knute Wargin, and Sam Matthews.
 
Behr and freshman Mark Mizsei led the way for Bona. Behr collected wins in the 200-freestyle (1:40.21) and 100-butterfly (49.47).
 
Touching the wall first in the 200-butterfly (1:50.11) and 500-free (4:44.87), Mizsei joined Behr with two wins on the night.
 
The Bonnies swept the podium in the 200-fly as Behr and Boray Goren followed Mizsei.
 
Freshman Connor Peck also recorded a win on the night, going 9:55.12 in the 1000-freestyle.
 
Grad students Sam Matthews and Aidan Kreiley combined for a pair of wins.
 
Matthews posted a time of 47.54 in the 100-free while Kreiley went 2:05.99 in the 200-breast to earn wins.
 
The sixth Bonnie to top the podium was Luigi Termine in the 100-back with a time of 50.89. Henry Wilkes finished as the runner-up in that race, posting a time of 51.14.
 
In diving action, Ben Giera topped the leaderboard in the 1-meter dive, posting a score of 289.73. Giera tallied a second-place finish in the 3-meter (288.08) as well.
 
Ben O'Neill grabbed third in both events, recording scores of 255.53 on the short board and 259.95 on the 3-meter.

QUOTES FORM HEAD COACH MIKE SMIECHOWSKI
"This was a great win for our men on senior night and a great barometer for us. Cleveland State is well coached, consistently a top-two team in the Horizon League, and undefeated coming into our meet. Our men dominated early and battled to hold onto the lead when they surged at the end."
 
"We are learning how to win as a team, how to win close races individually, and we are swimming and diving with incredible confidence. We hope to close out the year with another win at Colgate and set us up for a great run at Atlantic 10 Championships."
