        THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (Nov. 13, 2013) – On Wednesday night at the Riesenberg Hall Pool, the Maritime men's swimming team defeated Skyline rival Purchase by the score of 117-88, while the women earned a great tie against the Panthers, a team which they have never beat before, 101-101. The Privateer men improve to 3-1 on the season (2-0 Skyline) and the women move to 2-1-1 (1-0-1 Skyline).
 
        On the men's side, the Privateers used their great depth once again to steal numerous points from each event. Maritime won only four events the whole evening, led by three swimmers that were victorious twice. Junior Zach Haughn (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep.) (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep.) was a part of the 200 medley relay team that touched first in 1:43.19 and also won the 100 backstroke in 59.70. Freshman Tony Choi (Westbury, N.Y./Clarke) won the 200 free in 1:53.64 and was on a leg of the 200 free relay that won in 1:34.31. Junior Collin McNamara (Somerville, N.J./St. Joseph-Metuchen) (Somerville, N.J./St. Joseph-Metuchen) was also a part of both relay teams that were victorious.

        On the women's side, the Privateers were down by 13 points (99-86) going into the final event of the night, the 200 free relay. Maritime finished in first and second place in the event, taking 15 points, while the Panthers took only two points from third place, which meant the meet ended in a 101-101 tie.
