SAN LUIS OBISPO – The California Baptist University men's and women's swim and dive teams took part in the first road competition of the season Saturday, as they took on the Cal Poly Mustangs in San Luis Obispo. The Lancers combined to take first in 21 of the 28 swimming events and managed to sweep all four diving events as well.

The swimming portion of the day concluded first, which was good news for CBU, as both sides of the Lancer program held comfortable leads by that point. Those scores increased once diving finishes were factored in as the men pulled away with a final score of 177-121 while the women also won comfortably, 168-132.

Patricia Van Law and Remi Fabiani each had a stellar day in the pool, as both Lancers won all four events in which they competed. In total, 15 different Lancers won individual events, including three divers in four events.

SWIM
Van Law led off the 200-yard medley relay, helping CBU edge Cal Poly's A team by 0.04 seconds in a time of one minute and 47.20 seconds. She followed that up with individual wins in the 100 backstroke (58.41), 200 back (2:04.51) and the 200 individual medley (2:07.69). Her time in the 200 back was fast enough to sneak into the top-10 times in program history.

Fabiani won all of his freestyle events from the 50 (20.47), to the 100 (45.21) and the 200 (1:40.46), as well as the 400 free relay (3:02.07) which he led off for CBU.

Faith Brazil and Giulia Decataldo both won multiple events in SLO. Brazil took top spots in the 100 breaststroke in a time of 1:05.11, and the 200 breast in 2:22.04. Decataldo won the two longest events on the women's slate, taking the 500 free in a time of 5:07.71, before landing in the program's top-10 list at No. 10 with her 1,000 free time of 10:23.74.

Rebeca Oviedo (200 free, 1:56.57); Amber Harris (200 fly, 2:05.57) and Mackenzie Degn (100 free, 53.82) all won a race for the women, while Christian Meyer (1,000 free, 9:46.86); Jonathan Reiter (100 breast, 56.61); Brandon Schuster (200 breast, 2:08.27) and Robert Moseley (200 IM, 1:53.30) all took first for the men.

DIVE
For the second meet in a row, Evan Honer swept the men's diving events for CBU while Kiree Lowe and Paula De Moya Alvarez took turns finishing first and second. Honer put on another dominant display, winning the 1-meter event with a score of 258.23, and the 3-meter by over 60 points with his score of 350.93.

Lowe opened the day with a win for the Lancer women, scoring a 257.10 in the 1-meter event, followed closely by De Moya Alvarez, whose second-place score tallied 246.08. The two divers flipped spots on the 3-meter board as De Moya Alvarez took first with a score of 265.80 with Lowe not far behind in second place with a 231.90.

UP NEXT
The Lancers will next travel to Columbus, Missouri, to compete in the Mizzou Invite from Nov. 17-19. This is the first time this Lancer squad has participated in this event which will be hosted by a Missouri program that placed 16^th and 18^th in the men's and women's NCAA Championships last season, respectively.
