The Long Beach City College Men's Swimming & Diving team earned a pair of South Coast Conference dual-meet wins on Friday at Cerritos College to move to 3-0 on the season. LBCC took first place in 11 of 15 events at the three-way meet on its way to a 210-34 win over Los Angeles Trade-Tech and a 166-108 victory against host Cerritos.

Leading the way for the Vikings were freshman Mark Denison and sophomore Frankie Cervantes with three wins each.
