Opening Day Victory Extends Winning Streak for Bentley Men to 34

NORTON, Mass. – Junior Paul Homorodean (Milford, Conn./Joseph A. Foran HS) took first in three individual events and helped the Falcons win a relay as the Bentley University men's swimming and diving team launched their season with a 204-85 victory over Wheaton College Saturday afternoon at the Wheaton College pool.

Bentley, which won 13 of 16 events, extended its dual winning streak to 34 with the victory. The Falcons have been unbeaten each of the last three seasons.

The victories for Homorodean came in the 100 yard breaststroke (59.83), the 100 freestyle (48.03) and the 100 butterfly (51.32). He also was part of the 200 medley relay team that opened the meet with a winning time of 1:36.24.
