WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ –  The Monmouth University men's and women's swimming teams hosted their Senior Day meet at Steadman Natatorium on Saturday afternoon. The women's side swam in a tri-meet against Saint Peter's and LIU-Brooklyn, while the men's team faced Saint Peter's.

The women's team defeated Saint Peter's for the third consecutive year, but fell to LIU-Brooklyn and the men's team lost to the Peacocks.

Hunter Klingener won two races on the afternoon, while Tyler Lutter and Anne Skimmons each also earned individual first-place finishes.   

NOTES & QUOTES 
"Today was an exciting day at Steadman Natatorium. Starting off with a ceremony to recognize our seniors at their last home meet and carrying over into the pool, the team swam with great energy. We still have some things to work on in advance of the conference championships, but the team overall continues to make positive progress. I like the position we are in and the way the team is approaching the opportunities to race."
