FINDLAY, Ohio -- The Wayne State University men's swimming and diving team came up just short at No. 9 Findlay on Friday night, 105-100. Next up on the schedule, the Warriors will host Oakland on Saturday at 1 p.m. for Senior Day inside the Matthaei Natatorium.
"We definitely had some strong performances on the road today," said head coach
Sean Peters. "I thought the men really made it a close meet where it came down to the last relay. We are three weeks away from our conference championships and I am seeing improvements every week."
Overall, Wayne State placed first in four events, second in seven races and third in seven competitions.
