ITHACA, N.Y. – The nationally ranked No. 19 men's track & field team came up just short of securing the program's fourth consecutive Liberty League Indoor Championship on Saturday at Glazer Arena inside the Athletics and Events Center as the Bombers totaled 165 points to finish second behind the University of Rochester with 174.5 points.
