YPSILANTI, Mich. -- In a battle for Mid-American Conference men’s swimming and diving supremacy, Eastern Michigan University downed rival Miami University, 150-88, here Saturday afternoon at Jones Natatorium to conclude the regular season.

Derick Roe clocked in with the top time in both the 50 (21.00), and 100-yard (45.93) freestyle races. He was also a leg in the winning 400-yard medley relay team with Mark Kurtzer, Andrzej Olesinski and Chris Meyers.
Jason Piercey won the 200-yard free with a 1:43.00 time, Donald Ellison claimed the 200-yard IM race in 1:55.17. Dan Wohl was victorious in the 200-yard butterfly (1:53.17), while Steven Bowling won the 200-yard backstroke with a 1:54.05 clip.
The Eagles swept the diving events with Mitch Kellerman winning the one-meter dive and Matt Guinan claiming the three-meter event.
The Eagles will return to the pool, Feb. 22-24, in search for their 26 league title at the 2007 MAC Championship hosted by Buffalo.
