RADFORD, Va. - The Marshall swim team picked up its third win of the season Wednesday beating Radford University 197.5-85.5. On the night the Herd won 13 of 16 events and set multiple new season bests.
"We showed some improvement tonight," said Marshall head coach Leonard Kraus. "We swam some people in different events and got to see some new things."

The Edmonton, Alberta native also finished first in the three-meter dive with another personal best score of 238.80. Both scores set Radford pool records.
