WASHINGTON - The Gallaudet University men's swimming team dove back into the pool here Saturday in a home Atlantic East Conference meet against Marymount (Va.) University. GU's four swimmers were no match for the Saints as the visitors rolled to a 158-17 win in the Field House pool.

The Bison four continued to push themselves and set several personal records (PR) in the process.
