MANSFIELD, Texas (SMU) - The SMU men's swim team placed fifth at the Southwest Collegiate Plunge Saturday. Sophomore Mindaugas Sadauskas finished the event with two second-place individual honors and two third-place relay finishes.

"We didn't light up the scoreboard this weekend, but we saw a lot of good things off which we can build," said head coach Eddie Sinnott. "This is our baseline, and I am confident we will get better as the season goes on. I am excited to watch that process."

Sadauskas took runner-up honors in the 50-yard freestyle (20.71) and the 100-yard freestyle(45.32). The freestyle specialist also swam the final leg of the third place 200-yard freestyle relay (1:23.82) and the opening leg of the third place 400-yard freestyle relay (3:03.80).

In the 100-yard butterfly, Matt Roney and Blaz Korosec picked up important points for the Mustangs, clocking in second (50.90) and third (51.22) respectively. Korosec edged out Scott Martin of the University of Missouri for third place by one-hundredth of a second. The duo combined to earn more points for SMU in the 200-yard freestyle, as Roney took third (1:42.30) and Korosec came in fourth (1:42.36).

SMU heads to Houston for the Cougar Classic No. 18-20.
