LaClair, Dickson shine as swim team overwhelms Saint Peter’s

On Jan. 25, the Seton Hall men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams each came away with dominating victories over Saint Peter’s University. The men’s team defeated the Peacocks by a combined score of 192-91, and the women’s team also won in blowout fashion, 180-71.

In the victory, the Pirates swept the top three or four spots in many events and were rarely beaten by Peacock swimmers. Head coach Derek Sapp was impressed with his entire team, but he was able to pick two names that stood out in particular.

“Heidi Dickson had a really solid meet, she won three individual events, and Ben LaClair stepped up big time in the 1,000 fly (butterfly event) and he’s becoming a very consistent swimmer for us,” Sapp said.
