The William & Mary men's swimming team broke another record on Saturday, its 10th of the season, but could not overcome East Carolina on the road, falling 176-101.  The Tribe moved to 1-1 on the year, while the Pirates improved to 2-1 overall.

How it Happened
- As usual on the road, W&M started the meet down 32 points due to diving.  Despite that, the Tribe put forth its usual strong effort, improving its season-best in five of the 12 individual events and setting a conference-leading time in its first attempt at the 400 free relay.
- Senior Jack Doherty (Middletown, Conn.) broke his own dual-meet record in the 100 fly, set just last week, after taking second in the event in 49.12 seconds.  That was 0.01 seconds faster than he swam last week at home.
- The Tribe also won four individual events, coming for four different seniors.  Chris Balbo (Short Hills, N.J.) started things off with a win in the 1,000 free in 9:38.45 for his team-leading third win of the season.
- Next was the 100 back, where Colin Demers (Virginia Beach, Va.) won for the second week in a row, this time in a season-fast 49.85 seconds.
- Ian Thompson (Alexandria, Va.) also won his event, the 50 free, for the second consecutive week, stopping the clock in 20.94 seconds.
- Wrapping up the wins was the 100 free and senior Colin Wright (Williamsburg, Va.), touching the wall in 44.52 seconds to keep pace with Balbo with three wins on the year.
