MEADVILLE, Pa. -- The Allegheny College men's swimming and diving team earned its fourth consecutive dual victory to open the 2026-27 season on Saturday afternoon, pummeling shorthanded Saint Francis University, 144-49.

The Gators (4-0) outnumbered the visiting Red Wolves (0-2), who are competing in their first-ever men's season while in the first year of their transition from Division I to D-III. As a result, many events were uncontested, helping Allegheny collect 11 wins on Saturday.

The 200-yard medley relay team raced without an opponent, but the 200-yard freestyle quartet competed against an SFU foursome that was ultimately disqualified. In the 200 free relay, Allegheny posted a season-best time of 1:32.02, more than five seconds faster than its previous best.

Logan Byers (Oil City, Pa./Homeschool) defeated SFU's Tommy Corcoran in the 100-yard backstroke. He clocked a sub-one-minute time of 59.19 seconds, more than two seconds better than Corcoran. Byers also beat two of his teammates in the 100-yard freestyle at 50.77 seconds.

Joining Byers on the 200 free relay team was junior Sam Kohler (Pittsburgh, Pa./Avonworth). Kohler added first-place performances in the 50-yard freestyle (23.18 seconds), the 200-yard freestyle (1:54.36), and the 100-yard fly (58.02 seconds), but none of his individual races included an opposing swimmer from Saint Francis.
