Lacking strength in numbers, Colorado College couldn't quite keep up on Friday.

CC depleted men's roster went up against a UC Santa Cruz team that not only is strong in depth but solid in talent as well, and dropped a 156-115 dual decision to kick off its first road trip of the 2013-14 season.

The loss was not without highlights for the Tigers, as junior Chris Garrity turned in another standout performance with impressive victories in 100- (56:08) and 200-yard (2:09.27) backstroke events. Garrity also was solid in the sprint freestyle race, with a 22.39-second split, while junior diver Austin Howlett made his NCAA qualifying standards on both the 1- (318.05 points) and 3-meter (326.70) boards.

Senior Kaleb Roush emerged with a victory in the 200-yard individual medley, clocking in at 2:10.65, while sophomore Colin Chupik prevailed in the 200-yard butterfly (2:05.44) and was second in the 100 fly (56.53).

The Big Cats will meet the Banana Slugs again on Saturday, under a different and perhaps more conducive event format, at the Mills College Invitational in Oakland, Calif.
