Edison, NJ - MAAC Swimmer of the Week honors were awarded to Moe Osmulski of Fairfield University and Johnny Funk of Rider University. Ian O'Rourke of Niagara University earned the male Diver of the Week award, while the women's honors went to Rider's Aisley Carter.

Osmulski, a freshman, had an impressive outing in the Stags' victory over Manhattan on November 13. Osmulski was a part of two program records and picked up two victories. In the 200m individual medley, Osmulski broke a six-year-old program record by clocking a winning time of 2:27.51. She began the day as the second leg (1:17.82) of the victorious 400m medley relay that had a time of 4:45.96. She later anchored the 800m free relay that set a program record of 8:55.86.

Funk was the winner in the 100 back (51.89) and 200 IM (1:55.48) in Rider's tri-meet against Delaware and La Salle. The Blue Hens defeated the Broncs, 208-91, with the Explorers posting a win over Rider, 195-104.

O'Rourke had another strong outing against the University at Buffalo in the diving events, taking top honors in the one-meter diving event (321.10), while taking second place in the three-meter diving event (348.85). O'Rourke qualified once again for the NCAA Zone-A meet with his performance in the one-meter event.  O'Rourke has qualified for the event for the third time in his career.

Carter was the runner-up in both the one-meter and three-meter dive events as Rider split with La Salle and Delaware. Carter scored 206.55 in the one-meter and 212.10 in the three-meter as the Broncs defeated La Salle, 162-135, and Delaware defeated Rider, 186-101.
