Susquehanna Valley 92, Norwich 91

NORWICH – Susquehanna Valley, despite dropping nine of 12 events, was able to use its superior depth in most events to edge the Purple Tornado Friday night at Echentile Natatorium.

Clinging to a one-point lead over Norwich entering the penultimate 100-yard breaststroke, the Sabers used a one-three-four finish to build a seven-point edge and just about clinch the victory.

“We have some quality swimmers, we’re just lacking some experience,” said second-year coach Jon Aikins, who said that nearly half the roster has little or no varsity experience. “Overall, we performed fairly well.”
