Addicts and their experimenting friends found that they got more...
...against Cornell--the meet that broke a Big Red 31-meet streak and set up the Crimson for the championship run--it was Henjyoji and Naylor making tough matches look easy with 5-0 and 5-2 decisions which eventually proved the margin...
