BALTIMORE --
Anders Logas won the Men's 3 Meter and
Alicia Buteau had an impressive second place finish in the Women's 3 Meter as the UMBC Diving team had a strong showing against visiting Loyola and Towson on Saturday morning.
"I was excited to host our first ever dive invitational of my tenure at UMBC," said head Diving Coach
Jeff Fisher. "Our divers had mixed success in the meet, with some high level performances along with some frustrating disappointments. Many of our athletes are fighting through injuries and working to improve their competition mindset. That being said, we still saw some great dives and some personal best final scores. We are looking broadly at this meet as a fantastic learning experience - yet another opportunity to hone our skills and increase our ability to compete at the highest level possible. Our divers are in a very good position at this point in the season and we are poised to be in an even stronger position coming into the second half of the season and on into the Conference Championships."
Logas won the 3 Meter with a score of 266.95, while
Grant Moore took third with 248.95.
Alicia Buteau scored 241.10 in the event to take second, she took fourth in the 1 Meter with a score of 234.75.
Kaleb Cave used a score of 279.95 to finish second in the 1 Meter on the Men's side.
UMBC has over a month off before taking on La Salle in Philadelphia on January 17th.
