FREDONIA, N.Y. - The Gannon swimming and diving team won an unusual meet over Fredonia State Friday. The men took a 134-103 decision and the women won 155-88 over the Devils. Due to inclement weather, each team swam at their own school. The Gannon swimming and diving teams completed their events at the Carneval Athletic Pavilion while Fredonia State competed in theirs at the SUNY Fredonia Natatorium. The scores were then compared to produce final results.
