ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The visitors from the University of Rochester won 14 of the 16 events Saturday in a non-conference men's swimming and diving meet as the Yellowjackets defeated the Golden Flyers in decisive fashion, 190-104.

The dual meet was the first for the Golden Flyers in more than a year after most sports programs were idle due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nazareth is one of just a handful of area swim teams that is competing this winter. The women's team returned to action Friday and defeated Rochester, 174-126, at Nazareth.

In Saturday's meet, Nazareth got first-place finishes from senior Sidney Taylor in 3-meter diving and from freshman Cameron Fairley in the 200-meter freestyle. Taylor's score of 312.00 in the 3-meter and 287.17 in the 1-meter reached NCAA qualifying standards.

Fairley, competing in his first collegiate meet, was clocked in 2:02.35 in the 200 free. Nazareth swept the top three places in that event with junior Joey Knapp (2:04.86) and sophomore Dylan Long (2:05.31) placing second and third respectively. Fairly narrowly missed becoming a double winner as he was touched down by a fraction of a second in the 400-meter freestyle with his time of 4:22.63. UR's Jose Corredor Alvarez won the race in 4:22.41. 

Freshman Ryan Hough had a pair of second-place finishes with times of :24.68 in the 50 free and:55.30 in the 100 free. He also helped Nazareth's 200 free relay to a second-place finish (1:39.24). He was joined in that race by Knapp and fellow juniors Tom Griffin and Sean Payrot. Senior John Koch was second in both butterfly races, going 2:18.81 in the 200 and :59.91 in the 100. Junior Marco Salvatore was second in the 200 breaststroke (2:34.41) and third in the 200 IM (2:21.74) and freshman Kai D'Alessandro was third in the 800 freestyle in 9:27.72.

The Golden Flyers have two more dual meets next weekend. They host Roberts Wesleyan Friday at 4 p.m. and then visit Clarkson Saturday at 1.
