CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cleveland State University men's and women's swimming & diving teams closed their regular seasons by hosting Kenyon Saturday inside the Robert F. Busbey Natatorium.

The CSU men claimed a 134-108 win over the Lords while the Viking women fell in a nail-biter, 114-113, to the Ladies. Cleveland State celebrated its 15-member senior class during a break in the dual meet.

Junior Matt Akers posted a pair of NCAA Zone qualifying scores in both diving events to lead the CSU men. He won the 3-meter with 338.55 points to begin the meet before topping the field in the 1-meter with 307.58 points.

Senior Antony Styrt (315.23, 275.48) and junior Trevor Mahoney (291.45, 261.68) took second and third in both 3-meter and 1-meter, respectively, with Styrt coming close to a Zones score in 3-meter.
