NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA. – Pace University Men's Swimming and Diving's Adem Ozkurt has been named the Northeast 10 Conference Diver of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon. Ozkurt earned the honor after a standout showing at Pace's home tri-meet, where he swept both diving events and helped lead the Setters to a historic team performance.

Competing against Assumption University and Mount Saint Mary College, the sophomore diver secured first place in both 1-meter diving events. He posted a score of 100.05 on the six-dive board and followed with a 93.96 on the five-dive format, continuing his strong early-season form on the boards.

Both of Ozkurt's marks place him inside the top five in the NE10 this season based on event structure and depth of competition. His consistency and execution played a major role in Pace's sweep of both diving events and added valuable points to the Setters' scoring output.

The tri-meet also marked a milestone day for the program, as the Pace men's team set a new program record with 223 total points, the highest single-meet total in men's program history. Ozkurt's pair of first-place finishes was instrumental in Pace reaching the record mark.

Ozkurt and the Setters will return to action on December 5^th at 4:00 p.m. when they host Southern Connecticut State University at the Goldstein Fitness Center.
