The Basics
• Scores:
Johns Hopkins-198, NYU-64
• Location: Baltimore, MD • Newton White Athletic Center
• The Short Story: The Johns Hopkins men's swimming team claimed first-place finishes in both relays and all 12 individuals events contested to fuel a 198-64 win over visiting NYU Saturday afternoon.
 
Quoting Coach Armstrong
"NYU is a very strong team that always pushes us to race hard, so after the hardest training block of the entire season, I couldn't be happier with how well the team swam. It's time to rest and we need to double down on sharpening up … turns, breakouts, streamlines … it's the little details that will come together with some rest and focused practice that will help carry the team to some great swimming in a couple weeks."
