HANOVER, N.H. – Diving shined as the Dartmouth men's swimming and diving team fell to Columbia on Saturday from Karl & Michael Spaulding Pools 180.5-119.5.

"We saw some good signs of progress at this meet with folks executing things in their races they've been working on in practice and also practicing showing up on deck with the energy of the team we want to be at the end of season. The divers sweeping both boards was a huge highlight and I'm very excited about how they are all progressing towards Ivies and Zones," said Head Coach Milana Socha.

McCoy Lyman placed first in both the 1-meter and the 3-meter with scores of 334.95 and 369.15. His first-place finishes contributed to 1-2-3 finishes over Columbia in both events as well. On the 1-meter, Aryeh Lesch came in second with a score of 324.90 and Everett Tai had a score of 310.50 to finish third. On the 3-meter, Tai placed second with a 328.12 and Lesch came in third with a score of 326.92.

Lyman, Tai and Lesch all hit NCAA Diving Zone scores on the 3-meter dive and on 1-meter, Lyman and Lesch qualified for Zones. Lyman's scores now place him third on the All-Time best list in the 3-meter and fifth on the 1-meter.

On the swimming side, Colton Rasmussen won the 100 back with a time of 49.68. He also placed first in the 100 free after going a 45.81.

Also in the 100 back, Xavier Orlic swam a lifetime best at a time of 53.20.

Jacob Turner won the 200 fly with a time of 1:49.83. He also placed first in the 400 IM after swimming a 4:00.11.
