Albright followed that up with a trio of 1-2-3 finishes, starting with
Rick Sutton,
Zach McElheny and
Sean Spellacy in the 200 free.
Porrazzo (26.05), Thomas and Hicks then swept the 50 back, and Park, Rosenthal and

Only Cabrini's
Evan Strickland could break up the Lion dominance, winning both the 100 fly and 100 free, sandwiching a McBride-McNair one-two punch in the 50 free.
Following Strickland's second victory, Albright went 1-2 in the next three races. Sutton (57.60) was followed by Hicks in the 100 back, Park (1:04.23) and Epstein led the 100 breast and McElheny (5:12.70) and
Matt Bauer took the top two places in the 500 free.
Kurtz had the best time in the 50 free (25.03) but at that point Albright was swimming exhibitions with the meet wrapped up.
The Lions win their fifth straight meet to improve to 5-1 and will host MAC opponent Messiah on Saturday.
