TOWSON, Md. -- A run of 11-straight victories gave the Navy men's swimming and diving team (9-0) a 175.5-119.5 win over Towson (3-2), Saturday at Burdick Pool in Towson.  Those 11 races were won by nine different Mids.

"The team did a terrific job with their racing today," said Navy head coach Bill Roberts.  "It has been a really difficult stretch of training and we are pleased with where they are at today coming after a challenging week.  We still have a long ways to go and are looking forward to getting right back to work on Monday and preparing for the next meet."

The diving events were held prior to the start of the swimming races, with the Tigers winning both boards to take a 25-12 lead.  The swimming events began with Navy placing first and second in the 200 medley relay and Towson winning the 1000 freestyle.  The Tigers held a 38-35 advantage through those four events.

The Mids answered by winning the next 11 events, which included first, second and third-place finishes in six of those races to break away from the Tigers.

Xavier Sohovich led a 1-2-3 Navy finish in the 200 free with a winning time of 1:42.24.  Aaron Mendoza followed by winning the 100 back with his effort of 50.19, then Juan Mora recorded a 55.32 to win the 100 breast.

Navy would claim the top-three spots in each of the next three events.  Evan O'Dea won the 200 fly (1:52.48), Lachlan Andrew touched the wall first in the 50 free (20.65) and Kellan Pattison placed first in the 100 free (46.79).

Martin Perecinsky (1:52.36) and Michael Phillips (2:03.09) won the 200 back and 200 breast, respectively, then Luca Oliva posted the victory in the 500 free (4:38.05).  The Mids placed first, second and third in both of the remaining individual events, the 100 fly won by Andrew (49.98) and the 100 IM won by Mora (50.46).

Towson won the meet-closing 200 free relay.

The Navy men's and women's swimming and diving teams will play host to Delaware, Kenyon and Princeton Jan. 9-10 in Lejeune Hall.
