On Wednesday, the Hounds visited their cross-town rivals, Towson University, for what they hoped was to be a closely contested meet. Last year, Loyola defeated the Tigers by 17 points. Unfortunately, by taking both relays and finishing 1-2 in the 200 yard backstroke, the Tigers held their home-pool advantage to defeat Loyola by a 132.5-110.5 margin.
Loyola gained strong performances by John Moore, who once again dominated the 1000- and 500-yard freestyles, taking both events with times of 10:08.69 and 4:57.30. He also finished second in the 200-yard freestyle. Mark Gallagher edged out the competition in the 50-yard freestyle (21.91). Will Bryant placed first in the one meter diving competition and second in the three meter event. But Towson held the advantage in the balance of the races to upend their rivals for the 22nd time in 27 all-time meetings between the schools.
