CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Junior David Krol (Grafton, Wis.) earned his second all-conference honor of the meet and first-year Matthias McFarlane (Trumbull, Conn.) set a pair of school records and achieved an NCAA B cut in the 100 breaststroke to highlight day three of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) for the Babson College men's swimming & diving team on Saturday at MIT's Zesiger Pool. 

The Beavers totaled 227 points on Saturday and remain in fourth place with 506 points through 14 events. Babson is just 18.5 points behind third-place WPI, while MIT (1066.5 points) is first with a substantial lead over second-place Coast Guard (670 points).

He joined Aaron Paradis '10, who achieved the feat in 2007, as the only two Babson divers to earn All-NEWMAC honors in both diving events in the same season.

McFarlane continued his terrific NEWMAC Championships debut by qualifying third with a time of 55.44 in the 100 breaststroke on Saturday morning before achieving an NCAA B cut and setting a pair of program records in the finals. He touched the wall with a time of 54.62 to shatter Pat Anutarasoti's '25 mark of 55.10 on the way to finishing third, and also set a new program standard with his 50-yard split of 25.41.
