For the third week in a row, Cydney Liebenberg and Felix LaFortune are the Horizon League Divers of the Week.
 
Felix LaFortune Diver of the Week

LaFortune continued his surge down the home stretch of the regular season by breaking the UIC school and pool record in 1-meter diving.  His score of 350.05 eclipsed the previous mark by nearly 10 points.  His sheet included career highs on five dives and three 9.0s.  Later, he scored a career high 363.10 on the 3-meter board to record his fourth straight win in the event.  He won both events in the same meet for the fourth time this year.
 
Cydney Liebenberg Diver of the Week

Liebenberg upped her scores on both boards for the third straight meet.  She took first in both events, posting 290.95 on the 1-meter board and 315.95 on the 3-meter board.  It was the sixth straight meet in which she swept the diving crowns, and she remained undefeated this season in 3-meter diving.

Since the Milwaukee dual meet in early November, the two Flames have combined to compete in 24 events.  They have finished first 22 times, and second the remaining two.

This is the 11th Diver of the Week award for Liebenberg, who has four total honors this season.  LaFortune moves his career total to five weekly recognitions.

The Flames will close the regular season at the annual UIC Diving Invitational on Saturday.
