Henderson State's men's swim team was edged out by Centenary losing 106-99, Saturday in Shreveport.
The meet went back and forth, with Centenary winning the first two and last two events of the meet to claim the win.
Adam Milecz picked up the Red Wave's first win by claiming the 200 freestyle in a time of 1:47.79.
In the 200 individual medley, Nick James edged Centenary's Ross Oliver to take first-place having a time of 1:59.75, while Terrance Fogle claimed the 100 freestyle event in a time of 47.82.
James returned later in the day to win his second event. James swam the 100 backstroke in a time of 54.22 narrowly beating Oliver who finished with a time of 54.90.
Robert Fisher also claimed an individual event by winning the 500 freestyle in a time of 4:53.27.
“Our men fell behind early and then fought really hard to take a small lead with just two events to go, but they were just too strong for us in those two particular events,” said Matthews. “Basically, they outscored us by enough in the first two and last two to win the meet. We pretty much won the middle, but it wasn't enough. I was really proud of the way we fought and raced to get back in the meet when things looked pretty bleak at the beginning.”
Henderson will return to the poll Nov. 11-12 in Bryant, Ark. for the HSU Invitational.
