Becker Leads Swimming and Diving In Loss To Fordham

NEW YORK, N.Y. --- The NJIT men's swimming and diving team completed its final regular season meet of 2019 on Friday evening, falling on the road to the Fordham Rams, 194-102.

Cole Becker led the Highlanders in defeat as the senior claimed wins in both diving events. Becker paced the 3 meter (262.70) and 1 meter fields en route to NJIT's lone victories.

The Higlanders were runners-up in eight different events, with Joshua Franco (200 Free - 1:43.68; 100 Free - 47.79) and Nicholas Lyons (100 Breast - 58.27; 200 Breast - 2:09.42) picking up a pair of second-place finishes.
