OBU Holds Off Florida Tech

MELBOURNE, Fla. – Oklahoma Baptist scored a 5-3 win over Florida Institute of Technology Saturday in a dual quickened by weather.
 
"The whole thing took 42 minutes and 13 seconds because radar had lightning moving in and we had a short window," said OBU Coach Sam Freas. "Some of our kids swam three times in that time, just because the way it was."
 
The meet was tied at 3-3, but Victoria Fonville, Miriam Avila, Blandine Tantart and Faith Moss won the 200 free relay for a 4-3 lead. The men's 200 free squad of Devyn Hill, Chad Brandon, Marc Sambolin and J.P. Goyetche closed the deal with a win.
 
Sambolin, Austin Sanders, Juliana Cifuentes and Grace Ann Clayton won the mixed 400 butterfly.

OBU returns to action in the Austin Grand Prix in Texas starting Thursday.
