NEW YORK — The Columbia men's swimming and diving team returns to Percy Uris Natatorium this weekend for back-to-back duals. The Lions will face off against Ivy League foe Brown on Saturday at noon ET before taking on Bucknell at 1 p.m. Sunday.

A three-meet homestand is a welcome change for the Lions, who have seen six of their last seven competitions on the road.

The win saw Columbia take 11 of 16 event titles, with four athletes picking up multiple individual event victories. Sophomore Jonathan Suckow won on both the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards, junior Nian-Guo Liu claimed the 100 and 200-yard freestyle, senior Brian Tsau was victorious in the 500 and 1,000 free and junior Cole Stevens swept the backstroke races.
