Geneva, Ohio – The Seton Hall men's swimming team excelled in the pool on Wednesday night as they wrapped up Day One of the 2021 BIG EAST Swimming and Diving Championships.

The team of Ross Pantano (Bennington, Neb.), Thomas Staes (Berlaar, Belgium), Liam Cosgrove (Sea Girt, N.J.) and Thomas Minar (Oxford, Conn.) won the event in a time of 1:29.39, just shy of the program record of 1:29.08.
