Springfield Sophomore Brian Sobel Named NEWMAC Men's Diver of the Week

NEWMAC Men's Diver of the Week:

Brian Sobel, Springfield College, 2011 (Stratford, Conn.)

Sobel had a terrific performance as he won both the one and three meter boards in a dual meet against Amherst on Saturday. In sweeping the competition, Sobel defeated last year's NCAA Diver of the Year, Kai Robinson. It was the first time that the senior from Amherst had been swept in his career. Sobel posted a 322.43 on the three-meter board, and on the one-meter, Sobel tallied a 289.87 to take first place as well.
