TOWSON, Md. – Towson will go on the road for the first time in three weeks Saturday, when the men’s swimming and diving team faces the Loyola Greyhounds and UMBC Retrievers in a double dual meet at the UMBC Natatorium at 1 p.m.

Towson (2-5, 1-3 CAA) received stellar performances from a plethora of freshmen last Saturday against George Mason, including Andy Disco, Matt Lowe and Matt Collingwood.

Lowe was particularly impressive, as his second-place finish in the 500-yard freestyle was timed at 4:44.93, a lifetime best.

“The youth on the men’s side has been great,” Towson Head Coach Pat Mead said. “Matt Lowe is swimming faster now, which is a great thing. Hopefully we’ll have some close races this week.”

Disco and Collingwood each had a pair of top-five finishes against George Mason. Disco placed second in the 100-yard backstroke (53.94) and 200-yard backstroke (1:56.60). Collingwood timed 48.92 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle, finishing fourth. He also finished third in the 1000-yard freestyle with a time of 9:49.04.

Sophomore diver Alex Cohen will also be counted on to provide a solid list after finishing third in the one-meter dive with 225.83 points and second in the three-meter event with 278.75 points against the Patriots.
