In a battle of top-20 squads, Auburn’s No. 9-ranked men’s swimming and diving team knocked off No. 16 Alabama, 167.5-132.5, on Friday at the Martin Aquatics Center.
“I thought the whole men’s team stood up as a unit,” Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said. “I know there was some individual highlights but the way we won this was through team swimming. It’s clear that Alabama came in with a little bit different agenda than we had. We came to race tough and I thought our guys did that man-to-man.”
Luis Martinez, Hugo Gonzalez and Scott Lazeroff each picked up a pair of individual wins while Tommy Brewer, Peter Holoda and Bryan Lee each earned wins as well.
