WALTHAM, Mass. – Winning 11 of 13 events, Bentley University cruised to a 134-71 win over UMass-Dartmouth in men's college swimming action Wednesday night at the Dana Center pool.

A trio of Bentley student-athletes each won two individual events, including junior Colton Bridge (Tolland, Conn./Tolland HS) who swept the diving. He recorded a score of 233.77 on the one-meter board and bettered that with a 247.07 from the three-meter.

The other double-winners were sophomore Matt Ahlmeyer (Morris Plains, N.J./Morristown HS) and freshman Aiden Karam (Norwich, Conn./Norwich Free Academy).

Karam's victories came in the 50 free (23.14) and the 100 free (50.51).

Bentley's list of individual winners also included freshman Jon Boains (Unionville, Conn./ Farmingtion HS) in the 200 free (1:52.37), sophomore Davis Wilson (Ransom Canyon, Texas/ Lubbock HS) in the 200 individual medley (2:07.21) and junior Tim Connolly (Dorchester/Boston Latin Academy) in the 500 free (5:15.60).
