Notre Dame Swimmers Sweep Bowling Green
NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Notre Dame's men's and women's swimming teams swept Bowling Green in dual meet action at Rolfs Aquatic Center at Notre Dame. Notre Dame's women's team defeated the Falcons 133-108 while the men coasted to 149.5- 86.5 win. The meets were the first since the men's team returned from a two-week trip to Brazil and since the women's team returned from a two-week trip to Hawaii. With the wins, the women improve to 5-1 while the men are now 3-3.
In the women's meet, the Irish won first place in 10 of the 12 events, including both relays, as Notre Dame opened up a 64-point lead after seven events. Natalie Najarian and Linda Gallo were double winners for Notre Dame. Najarian claimed the 50 and 100 freestyle and Gallo won the 200 freestyle and the 400 individual medley. Gallo was also part of the winning 400 freestyle relay team. Alison Newell, Liz Barger, Erin Brooks, Leticia Herrera and diver Gina Ketelhohn each won events to round out the Irish winners.
Notre Dame's men's team jumped out to a 15-2 lead after winning the top two spots in 400 medley relay and would lead by as many as 75 points at one point in the win. Ron Royer and Herb Huesman were double winners for the Irish as Royer won both the 50 and 100 freestyle. Huesman swept both the one-meter and three-meter diving events with scores of 278.025 and 287.320. Ry Beville, Chris Fugate and John Lubker also were winners for Notre Dame.
Both teams return to the pool Saturday, Jan. 18., as Notre Dame's women's team travels to Illinois to face Illinois and Indiana while the men head to Cleveland State to face the host Vikings and Niagara. The women return home with a dual meet against No. 10 Minnesota on Sunday, Jan. 19, at 1:00 p.m. at Rolfs Aquatic Center.
