Local Competition Proves Tough For Flames

Teams Top U of C, but Fall to Northwestern

Swimming in a competitive field, the UIC men's and women's swimming and diving teams each secured one win in a quad-meet hosted by Northwestern, with Rutgers and Chicago, Saturday in Evanston.

Team Results
  • Both squads topped the University of Chicago.  The men won by a score of 155-140, while the women topped the Maroon, 154-141. 
  • Northwestern swept the Flames, winning on the men's side 175-114, and on the women's side 168-125. 
  • The women also fell to Rutgers, 183-114.  The Scarlet Knights do not field a men's team.
Individual Highlights – Men
  • The Flames swept the top two spots in both diving events.  Andrew Lewarchick took two first places with a final score of 282.50 in the 1-meter and 289.35 in the 3-meter.  Sean Scarry was behind him in second on both boards, and Ryan Murphy placed fourth in the 1-meter and third in the 3-meter.
