WENHAM, Mass.—-It was a good day for Gordon College's Fighting Scots in the pool in front of a packed Bennett Aquatic Center crowd. The Fighting Scots Men and Women's teams ended their regular season with wins over a talented set of teams from Saint Joseph's College of Maine.
Â
The afternoon started well for the Scots, with commanding wins for both squads in the 200 Yard Medley event.

Saint Joseph's fought back with two first-place finishes in the long distance competitions by Lauren Halvorsen in the Women's 1650-Yard Freestyle and Chris Cullity in the Men's 1000-Yard Free.
Â
Gordon swimmers responded with strong individual performances from sophomores Nicole St. Martin (Westport, Mass.) and Andrew Lewis (Mystic, Conn.) in the 200-Yard Freestyle contest.

The Scots' squad proceeded to claim first place finishes in many of the pool sprints.
Â
Freshman Alex Hall (Boca Raton, Fla.) out swam the Monks' Erin Weir in the Women's 50-Yard Backstroke before Katherine Zablocki (Walnut Creek, Calif.) and Joshua Florez (West Hartford, Conn.) swept both the 50-Yard Breaststroke and 100-Yard Breaststroke contests in Gordon's favor
