Desmond Ng Named Little East Men's Swimmer of the Week

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- For the second straight week, Bridgewater State University junior Desmond Ng has been selected as the Little East Conference (LEC) Men's Swimmer of the Week.

Ng captured top honors in the 400 individual medley with a time of 4:25.81 last week as the Bears split a tri-meet hosted by Keene State College. The Petaling Jaya, Malaysia native also placed second in the 200 backstroke (2:03.39) and fourth in the 1,000 freestyle (12:10.85) at the meet.

Earlier in the week, Ng placed first in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:16.26 and finished second in the 200 butterfly as the Bears dropped a 184-78 decision to Eastern Connecticut State University. He also swam the breaststroke leg (27.21) on the third-place 200 medley relay squad.

Ng captured top honors in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:00.24 in the Bears' meet against Division II Bentley University, and placed second in the 200 freestyle with a personal-best time of 1:50.61. He also posted a 27.18 breaststroke split on the third-place 200 medley relay team (1:43.48).

This past weekend in a Senior Day meet with Babson College, Ng placed second in the 200 individual medley with a personal-best time of 2:00.01, and swam the leadoff leg (23.57) on the Bears' third-place 200 freestyle relay squad (1:32.45).

The Little East Swimmer of the Week honor marks the second of Ng's career. He has been selected LEC Rookie of the Week four times this season.
