ALFRED, NY — The Alfred University males’s swimming & diving crew opened its 2025-26 season with a house loss to Rochester Institute of Technology on Friday night.

 

The Saxons (0-1, 0-0 Empire 8) fell by a rating of 152.5-143.5 because the meet got here right down to the final race. The crew of Emmanuel Drappatz (Pittsburgh, PA/Fox Chapel Area), Sean Killian (Kenmore, NY/St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institution), Keagen Winkky (Horseheads, NY/Horseheads) and Uros Stojic (Niš, Serbia/Prva niška gimnazija Stevan Sremac) completed third within the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:30.65, ending the meet simply in need of the victory. “It is always difficult to gauge where we are in readiness going into the first dual meet. It doesn’t make anything easier when your first is against a top-tier team like RIT,” Head Coach Brian Striker ’00 mentioned. “We have some talent and we front-loaded our lineup to see how far we could take it. We came out of the gate strong today and our team energy was great. It was great to come from behind in the last leg of the 200 MR to secure a win to start the meet. It was a tight meet from that point on…never getting away from either of us. We broke several pool records and were .01 from a school record tonight. They swam fast, faster than I would have expected given where we are in the season and Jaxson [McQuaid] dove as well as he ever has. Based on what I saw today, I’m excited for this program moving forward. I think it’ll be a fun and successful season for them with a lot of great things in front of us!”
