ROCHESTER, NY – Sophomore Antonie Pieterse set three pool records with a trio of wins but more importantly moved into the national rankings in his home country of South Africa with his finishes Saturday afternoon as the Roberts Wesleyan University Men's Swimming and Diving team scored a dominating victory over Nazareth University.

His time in the 100 fly lifted him to the No. 2 position in the national rankings in the event in South Africa. His 50 freestyle time is ranked No. 9 in the nation.
