The College of Wooster men's swimming and diving team outscored Oberlin College 131-109 during its portion of the Greater Cleveland Tournament on Saturday in Oberlin, Ohio, however, the women's squad was upended 136-94 and Oberlin's combined 245-225 victory allowed it to move on to next weekend's championship meet.

Wooster, which will host Lake Erie College next Saturday as part of the Greater Cleveland Tournament, received a balanced effort from the men's team with five different swimmers winning individual events. Among the highlights, Brian Maddock paced a 1-2-3 Scot contingent in the 200 butterfly as he won in 2:02.26, followed by teammates Peter Parisi (2:04.22) and Travis Burgess (2:09.75), and Zack Pool edged fellow freshman Frayne Poeting at the wall in the 200 freestyle with a 1:53.07 time to 1:53.24.

Also for Wooster, Evan Hagerdorn, Alex LaJoie, and Imre Namath were first-place finishers in the 200 breaststroke (2:24.97), 400 IM (4:30.50), and 50 free (22.45), respectively.

The Scots' women's team was headlined by Morgan Hughes's sweep in the sprint freestyles as she took the 50 in 25.28 and the 100 in 54.88. Kate Hunt won the 1000 free with her time of 11:09.54 being 15 seconds faster than the nearest competitor and Samira El-Adawy touched first in the 200 IM (4:49.49).
