BOSTON – The Boston University swimming and diving teams opened their season against Binghamton Saturday afternoon, with the Terrier women winning 177-118, while the Terrier men suffered a 163-128 setback.

“Things went about as we expected,” said BU head coach Bill Smyth, who made his Terrier debut Saturday. “Our women performed terrifically and I was very pleased.”

The BU women were led by the solid performances of freshman Christina Ruggiero (Wilmington, Del.), who won both the 200-yard freestyle (1:56.82) and the 200-yard backstroke (2:13.85). Freshman Laura Pfendler (Clinton, N.Y.) cruised to victory in the 1000-yard freestyle (11:09.04) and junior Lidija Breznikar (Kotlje, Slovenia) dominated in the 200-yard butterfly, winning with a time of 2:08.95.

The BU men were led by sophomore Greg Dierksen (Yucaipa, Calif.), who placed second in both the 1000-yard freestyle (10:08.65) and the 500-yard freestyle (4:51.76). Junior Griffin Moodie (Edina, Minn.) was impressive in winning the 100-yard breaststroke in a time of 1:00.14, and finishing third in the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:16.47. Freshman Brian Lawler swept the diving events, capturing the one-meter with 312.60 points and winning the 3-meter with 343.13 points.

The Terriers return to the pool on Saturday, Oct. 29, when the women host Northeastern at 1 p.m. at the FitRec Center on BU’s campus. The men are back in action on Nov. 5 when they host New Hampshire (along with the women), at 1 p.m.
