Bridge & Mancini Cited as Northeast-10 Divers of the Week

WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University seniors Colton Bridge (Tolland, Conn./Tolland HS) and Nicola Mancini (Falmouth, Maine/Falmouth HS) have been  named the Diving Athletes of the Week in the Northeast-10 Conference following their record-setting performances this past Friday night against Roger Williams University.

It's the second time in as many weeks this season for Mancini and the 19th time in her career that she's received the honor. Bridge's Diver of the Week nod is his 13th career.

In a 151-145 win, Mancini swept the diving and broke both her own school and pool records in the three-meter in the process with a 322.60. In the one-meter, the All-America's winning score was 275.75 as she again exceeded the NCAA standards on both boards for the pre-qualification meet.

Bridge broke the school records in both the one-meter and three-meter during Bentley's 163-125 victory, turning in winning scores of 305.85 and 297.95, respectively. His effort in the one-meter met the NCAA pre-qual requirement and he erased a 3-meter record had stood since 2001.

Bentley will return to action Sunday when it hosts the College of Saint Rose at 1 pm
