FAIRFAX, Va. -- University of Delaware junior Patrick Savidge won three events for the Blue Hen men and freshman diver Emma Larson won both of her events on the boards for the UD women but it wasn't enough as host George Mason posted a sweep in a non-league swimming and diving dual Saturday afternoon at Jim McKay Natatorium.
George Mason defeated the Delaware men by a 184-114 score while the Patriot women knocked off the Blue Hens by a 167-127 count. The Delaware men moved their record to 1-1 while the UD women fell to 1-2 on the young season.
