PIETER RITZ IS HAVING AN OUTSTANDING SENIOR YEAR AT CSU

 CLEVELAND, Ohio - The day started with a beautiful rendition of the national anthem sung by siblings Matt and Alex DiMasso and ended with CSU on top of UIC, 138-105, to cap a perfect season at home for the Vikings men's swimming and diving team. The victory also sent the seniors - competing at home for the final time in their careers - out a winner on Senior Day.

With the win, Cleveland State improves to 11-4 on the year. The Vikings finish a perfect four-for-four against Horizon League opponents. UIC concludes the regular season at 7-3 overall and 3-2 in the league.

Seniors Matt DiMasso, Josh Gonzalez, Colin Hanner, Travis Lombardozzi and Pieter Ritz helped the Vikings finish 8-0 at home. CSU hasn't been defeated at the Robert F. Busbey Natatorium since Jan. 22, 2011 when Oakland was victorious.

Cleveland State won seven of the 13 events on Saturday with two of those relay wins garnering 22 team points for the cause. read more...
