MARLBOROUGH, Mass.— After the Beavers posted a lopsided victory in their only meet last week, the Babson College men's swimming and diving team received a pair of honors from the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) on Monday morning.
Sophomore
Hadi AlDayaa (Chelmsford, Mass. ) was named NEWMAC Men's Diver of the Week, and the team of
Anthony Taslakov (Sherborn, Mass.) and first-years
Tyler Seward (Granite Bay, Calif.),
Cam Kuhn (McLean, Va.), and
Thomas Iglar (Marietta, Ga.) were selected as the Men's Relay Team of the Week.
AlDayaa recorded first-place finishes in both diving events to help Babson defeat Roger Williams, 140-83, on Friday. He posted his top 6-dive scores in both events, totaling 254.90 points on the 1-meter board and finishing with a score of 226.12 in the 3-meter event.
The Babson relay contingent recorded a season-best time of 3:31.16 to win the 400 medley relay in Friday's victory over Roger Williams. The Beavers' top relay squad finished nearly four seconds ahead of their closest competitors and the time ranks third among conference squads this season.
Babson (6-2) will be back in the pool at the two-day Chuck Nugent Invitational on November 20-21, hosted by Wheaton College in Norton, Mass.
