GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.— The nationally-ranked Colorado Mesa University men' and women's swimming and diving teams swept Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference victories over the visiting Colorado School of Mines Orediggers as the squads wrapped up a 2-day dual on Friday morning here at the El Pomar Natatorium.
 
The meet was the last home competition of the season for the Mavericks.
 
The Maverick men, ranked sixth nationally, won all nine swimming events on Friday and all but one of the 17 over the 2-day meet, posting a dominating 231-84 win over the Orediggers.  The victory moves CMU's dual meet record to 2-3 overall and 2-0 in the RMAC with all three losses coming to Division I opposition.
 
Meanwhile, the tenth-ranked Maverick women won five of Friday's nine events and had superior depth in many of the others to post a 187-128 win over Mines.  The Mavericks finish the year undefeated in six RMAC duals and are now 6-4 overall with each of the setbacks coming to Division I foes.
 
On Friday, the Mavericks had two double-winners as senior Sam Bryant won both the 200-yard breaststroke and the 400 individual medley with times of 2:12.25 and 4:17.13, respectively.  He had also claimed the 200 IM on Thursday.
