Fairfax, Va.--The Colonial Athletic Association has named senior Colleen Flack (Lanhorne, Pa.) and sophomore Ryan Metzker (Springfield, Va.) conference divers of the week for their efforts at the Patriot Invitational this past weekend.

At the Invitational, which consisted of a total of 10 teams competing, Flack placed third in the 3-meter diving event with a score of 252 and also took home the bronze in the 1-meter (246.45).

Metzker placed second, out of 14 finalists, in the 3-meter diving event with a score of 295 and finished third in the 1-meter (261.10).

This marks the first time this season in which a Mason athlete has been named CAA Diver of the Week. The Patriots now have three conference honors thus far this season as Katie Kelly was named CAA Swimmer of the Week on Oct. 24.

The Patriots will return to the Aquatic & Fitness Center on Jan. 13 when Mason will host Towson for CAA dual meet action at 1 p.m.
