TALLAHASSEE, Fla.  –  The No. 21/NR Florida State swimming and diving teams fell to No. 7/15 Georgia at the Morcom Aquatics Center on Saturday. The men (1-1) dropped its contest 121-179 and the women (3-1) fell 123-176. “We did some great things today,” FSU head coach Neal Studd said. “We came up short, but Georgia is a very good team. We have a lot to be proud of and this will be something we can build on this season.” Edith Jernstedt lowered her own Morcom Aquatics Center pool record in the 200 fly, controlling the race for the win at 1:58.06.
