ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. - The Bard College men's swimming team got some late heroics by

Complete results
Wins by
Dio Tzortzis in the 1000-free, 50-free and 100-back kept Bard close, and wins by Szabo in the 200-IM and Reisert in the 100-fly helped the Raptors hang in there. But it still came down to Reisert's victory in the 500-free and Szabo's clincher in the 100-breast for the Raptors to pull out their first dual meet win of the season, at the last possible opportunity.
Bard will next compete at the Skidmore Invitational on Saturday, then begin preparations for the Liberty League Championships, to be held Feb. 20-23 at Ithaca College.
