ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lebanon Valley's swim teams returned to their home pool on Saturday afternoon for the first time in more than a month and left the water with a pair of victories over FDU-Florham. The women picked up a 127-67 victory and the men earned a 115-75 decision.

Brandon Seigel, Ian Lloyd, and Bobby Burkhart all flirted with program records during winning swims, with Seigel coming within just .51 seconds of breaking the school's 50m free mark. Lloyd's 100m fly effort (1:01.41) was little more than a second off his own record, as was Burkhart's 1:12.59 in the 100m breast.

The women's 200m medley relay team opened the event with a strong showing, as Leslie Hiller, Jan Ikeda, Lauren Skorupski, and Erica Wise combined to swim a 2:12.40, little more than two seconds off the LVC pool record.

Wise, along with a number of Dutchmen swimmers, expanded upon her usual list of events like the sprint swims by winning the 200m IM and the 400m free. Ikeda was also 3-for-3 on the day, winning the 200m free by four seconds and the 100m fly by more than 17 ticks. Lauren Skorupski was the third women's swimmer to earn a solo victory, touching in 1:27.98 to win the 100m breast.

Lloyd and Burkhart got the men off on the right track when they teamed up with Chris Kurtz and Blade Umstead to win the 200m medley relay by more than six seconds. Burkhart was perfect on the day, sandwiching his 200m IM win between his two other victories. Lloyd swam the best time of the 100m IM competitors with a 1:05.58.

Bryce Betz and Umstead finished 1-2 in the 100m back, with Betz earning the win with a 1:09.45 and Umstead coming home in the runner-up spot by touching in 1:11.96.

Madison Martin picked up second-place finishes in the 200m IM and 100m back, while Leslie Hiller earned a pair of runner-up finishes in the 50m and 100m free races.  

The women tallied their final points of the afternoon by winning the 200m free relay when Katie Gingrich, Martin, Emily Walak, and Kyra Valent turned in the top time with a 2:08.99. David Corvino, Nate Ginder, Seigel, and Clay Heebner swam the best time of the men's teams, touching in 1:43.91.

LVC is next in action one week from today when the Dutchmen host Messiah on Jan. 23.
