Immaculata, Pa. – The Immaculata men's swimming team will travel to St. Mary's College of Maryland to compete in the 2025 Atlantic East Conference Swimming Championships. For the second straight year, the championships will span four days starting on Thursday at 6 p.m.
 
The Atlantic East Conference announced their Women's Swimming Pre-Championship Coaches' Poll on Tuesday afternoon and Immaculata was voted fourth in the poll with 8 points.
 
St. Mary's was selected as the favorite to win the AEC Championship with 16 points and four first place votes. Marymount is second with 13 points and one first place vote. Marywood was selected third with nine points. Immaculata is fourth with eight points, and Gallaudet rounds out the poll with four.
 
Immaculata enters the swimming championships with a 3-6 overall record and is 2-2 against Atlantic East Conference competition.
 
"I am extremely excited to watch the team compete this year at the Atlantic East Conference Championships," said Head Coach Josh Pace. "We have been grinding hard in the pool the last few months and I believe all of the hard work is going to pay off."
 
The Immaculata men's team is led by senior Gabriel Bocaj, and sophomore Mike DeMattei. Sophomore Aidan Gall has stepped up a bigger role this season, and freshman Lucas Lau and Zach Crawford have made an immediate impact on the team.
 
Mike DeMattei was named the Atlantic East Conference Men's Swimming Athlete of the Week on November 3, 2024, and to the AEC Weekly Honor Roll two times. Gabriel Bocaj was named to the AEC Weekly Honor Roll two times, and Zach Crawford was named the Weekly Honor Roll one time.
 
"I expect Sophomore Mike Demattei and Senior Gabriel Bocaj to lead us at conference championships," continued Pace. "I am expecting a ton of season and personal best times, and I fully expect to rewrite our record board."
 
The Championships will be the team's first competition since their dual meet at Arcadia on January 25^th.
 
"This season we have not done any type of meet that we rested for," concluded Pace. "The team is itching to finally be able to taper, throw on a fast suit and compete."
