BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas—The LSU Swimming and Diving team returned to action Saturday morning to face the No. 4/12 Texas A&M Aggies inside the Rec Center Natatorium.
The men's team fell by a score of 176-122, and the women's team lost by a score of 172-116.
"We had a few highlights today, but just a little short of where I thought we would be this weekend," said LSU head swim coach Dave Geyer. "Great performances from the Nyboer brothers with Braden finishing his career with a personal best. Brooks (Curry) is really in the form we look for him to be in right now as well."
"On the women's side, we had some great swims, but just on the other side of some finishes from where we need to be," continued Geyer. "We're all ready to head into our final prep phase for the end of the season and make adjustments we need to with training."
