Diver Stephen Savchik had a record breaking day in the pool as the University of Rochester men's swimming and diving team cruised to a 156-63 victory over Buffalo State on Saturday at the Speegle-Wilbraham Aquatic Center.
 
Savchik broke the school records for a six-dive meet on the 1-meter board, scoring 309.68 points, eclipsing his own previous mark of 301.27 set back in 2017.  The senior also posted two qualifying scores for the NCAA Zone Diving Regional meet, winning the 3 meter board as well with a score of 301.28 points.
 
Overall, the Yellowjackets (1-1) showcased their depth with 12 different swimmers posting victories, either individually or as part of a relay.
 
The loss is Buffalo State's third in a row (0-3) to start the season.
