No. 6/9 Indiana Produces Perfect Punctuation to Dual Meet Season Men Cruise, Women Set Three Program Standards to Defeat Ranked Foes

0

 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 6/9 Indiana men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will both head into championship season undefeated at 8-0 in dual meets after statement victories against No. 15/8 Louisville and No. 22/14 Wisconsin on Friday (Feb. 2) inside the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.

Notably, the No. 9-ranked IU women upset No. 8 Louisville 181-119 and soundly took care of Wisconsin 205-95. The Hoosier women set three program records and won 10 events – including both relays – to clinch their first undefeated dual meet season since 2006-07 (5-0).

“We’ve been working really hard, and this is the best group of people,” IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. “It’s a really tight team. They have each other’s back, and it’s starting to permeate into the results in a positive and stubborn way. That’s nice to see.”

The Hoosiers were once again dominant on the diving boards, sweeping the springboards. IU’s women had the top three finishers on both boards, with Anne Fowler continuing her late run of exceptional diving by completing the double. On the 1-meter board, Fowler’s 328.43 placed above of freshman teammate Ella Rosselli’s 303.00 and junior Skyler Liu’s 296.48. Hoosiers had the top four scores on the women’s 3-meter, led by Fowler’s 381.45, Liu’s 349.80, freshman Lily Witte’s 318.23 and Rossellis’ 317.18.

“We swept both boards, and, as normal, Anne Fowler was awesome,” assistant diving coach Eric Best said. “Anne was just dialed-in and diving great. I think we’re in a really good position going into the postseason.”

Despite missing juniors Carson Tyler and Quinn Henninger to World Aquatics Championships competition, Indiana’s male divers also completed the double via sophomore Maxwell Weinrich. Weinrich had personal bests on each board, a 388.13 on 1-meter and 428.93 on 3-meter.

“Max lit it up on both boards with two personal bests,” Best said. “The inward 3 1/2 that he did was absolutely amazing, somewhere around 80 or 90 points. It was just a huge meet for Max.”

Indiana set the tone in the first event of the day, the 200-yard medley relay. Juniors Kacey McKenna and Brearna Crawford, sophomore Chiok Sze Yeo and senior Ashley Turak posted a 1:35.86 as Turak out-touched Louisville’s Gabi Albiero by two hundredths. McKenna’s 23.93 leadoff was the difference as the Cardinals made up ground on each of the final three legs. Senior Brendan Burns (21.49 split), junior Finn Brooks (22.62), and seniors Tomer Frankel (19.74) and Gavin Wight (19.03) had no issues in the men’s event, setting the fourth-best time in the country this season.

Junior Ching Hwee Gan kept IU’s momentum going in the 1,000-yard freestyle, winning by 71 hundredths in 9:30.07 – the No. 3-best time nationally. Her mark also beat her own program record (9:30.71) previously set during her silver medal performance at the 2023 NCAA Championships. Gan was steady, with all 20 splits sitting beneath 29 seconds including a 27.34 final 50 yards. The junior from Singapore would close strong in the 500 free as well, her 26.56 final 50 good enough to catch Wisconsin’s Abby Carlson – the reigning Big Ten Champion and national runner-up – and win in 4:40.30.

IU would go back-to-back women’s events with program records. Fellow junior Anna Peplowksi may have posted the time of the meet with a 1:42.20 in the 200-yard freestyle. That time would have won the NCAA title last season and ranks No. 3 this season. Peplowski now owns the top five times in program history.

The Hoosiers would string together four consecutive event victories, as junior Rafael Miroslaw completed the sweep of the 200 free in 1:32.55, McKenna posted a personal best 51.33 in the women’s 100 back and Burns (45.91) and junior Luke Barr (46.25) managed a 1-2 finish in the corresponding men’s race.

The men would win their next two events as well. Perhaps the most eye-popping men’s time, Brooks won the 100-yard breaststroke in 51.34, the No. 3 time in the nation this season, despite not having raced the individual event since the 2022 CSCAA National Invitational Championship – when he went 56.23. Brooks, however, did split a 52.99 during a relay versus Kentucky, and has since posted 50-yard relay splits of 24.18, 23.12 and 23.02 this season before a personal best 22.62 split during the medley relay Friday. Following Brooks, Burns captured his second of three individual wins in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 1:40.78.

Sophomore Kristina Paegle got Indiana’s women back in the win column in the 50-yard freestyle, touching in 21.84. Her time marks the No. 3 mark in program history after she set the record at midseason in 21.76.

After falling in the 50-yard freestyle by a tenth of a second, IU’s men would win four of its next five events. In the 100-yard freestyle, Tomer Frankel (42.19) and Gavin Wight (42.96) led the way. The very next event, the 200 back, IU went 1-2 again via Burns (1:40.04) and junior Kai van Westering (1:42.07). Yep continued his season-long success in the 200 breast, winning in 1:53.16, and, in the 100 fly, Brooks (45.67) and Frankel (45.76) again had IU in the top two positions.

Down the stretch, IU’s women earned important wins from Crawford in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:09.73) and fellow junior Anna Freed in the 400 IM, posting a personal-best 4:10.94.

Indiana’s women finished the afternoon emphatically, shattering another program standard in the 400-yard freestyle relay. When only one other swimmer had a split under 48 seconds, three Hoosiers did it to deliver the victory. Peplowski kicked things off in 47.82, giving way to Turak’s 47.91. Louisville took the lead on the third leg, out-splitting senior Ella Ristic 47.86-48.61 – still quicker than all but six opponents – to set up the final leg between two sophomores: UL’s Ella Welch and IU’s Paegle. On this day it could only end one way: Paegle was a second quicker than the Cardinal, dropping the fastest split of the afternoon in 47.03. IU’s quartet beat the program record by 1.02 seconds with a new best time of 3:11.37 – the No. 7 time in the country.

USI suffers first OVC setback at Tennessee State

0

NASHVILLE – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball saw its 10-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday after a 65-58 road loss at Tennessee State University, as the host Tigers dealt the Screaming Eagles their first Ohio Valley Conference loss of the season.
 
With Saturday’s results, Southern Indiana moved to 14-6 overall and 9-1 in the OVC, while Tennessee State moved back above the OVC postseason bubble line with its fourth conference victory. Through Saturday’s action around the league, USI remains in first place by two games over the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
 
Saturday’s game in Nashville, Tennessee saw an initial struggle by both teams to settle in and find a flow to open the game. However, the pace of play picked up late in the first quarter. Southern Indiana trailed 8-4 near the halfway point of the first before making a small run to take the lead, 9-8, thanks to a three-point play from freshman guard Triniti Ralston (Louisville, Kentucky) at the 3:35 mark of the first. Seconds later, graduate guard Tori Handley (Jeffersonville, Indiana) banked home a three. With USI up 14-10 one minute later, Tennessee State ended the opening quarter on a 9-0 run to take a 19-14 lead.
 
With the game remaining a defensive track meet into the second quarter, Southern Indiana turned to its senior forwards on the offensive end. Meredith Raley (Haubstadt, Indiana) scored a bucket before consecutive tallies from Madi Webb (Bedford, Indiana) helped put USI back ahead, 20-19, at the midway point of the second. The Screaming Eagles went on to grab a 26-21 advantage at the three-minute mark of the first half, but once again the Tigers made another run to retake the lead. Tennessee State finished the first half with a three-point buzzer-beater to lead at the break, 31-28.
 
To start the second half, USI attacked the lane to charge back ahead. Junior guard Vanessa Shafford (Linton, Indiana) got a nice look at the net early in the third quarter. Then Shafford and Webb cashed in consecutive triples within a minute of play to lead by three, 38-35, three minutes into the period. Ralston added a bucket before fellow freshman Chloe Gannon (Manchester, Tennessee) had two makes before the end of the third quarter. However, the pesky Tigers kept fighting, as the game was knotted up at 46 going into the fourth.
 
With the game staying neck and neck to the midway point of the fourth, Gannon came through once again with a layup to give Southern Indiana a two-point lead with six minutes left. Tennessee State then answered with a three to take a one-point edge. In the next possession, sophomore guard Ali Saunders (Depauw, Indiana) splashed a three to make the score 56-54 USI near the three-minute mark of the fourth. After a bit of an offensive drought for both teams, Tennessee State scored on consecutive possessions with just under 2:30 remaining. Gannon responded with a layup to make it a one-point game, 59-58 Tigers, going into the last minute. Unfortunately, the Screaming Eagles could not muster another basket, as Tennessee State finished off the game at the free-throw line.
Southern Indiana was 21-46 for above 45 percent from the field with four threes. USI went 12-13 for over 92 percent at the free-throw stripe. The Screaming Eagles were led by Shafford’s 15 points, while Gannon recorded 10 points. Four other Eagles scored seven points, and Raley pulled down 10 boards in the game.
 
Tennessee State shot just under 40 percent (21-53) for the game with seven treys. The Tigers were 16-19 for 84 percent at the foul line. Tennessee State had four players in double figures, led by senior guard Sanaa’ St. Andre’s 18 points.
 
For the Screaming Eagles, their best winning streak so far since transitioning to Division I and since the 2017-18 season came to a close at 10 games. USI had won nine in a row to begin the OVC schedule, which was a program best since the 1996-97 campaign. The streak also allowed USI to surpass its overall and conference win total from the inaugural D-I and OVC season last year. The overall and OVC streaks were also among the top 10 best active winning streaks in the nation before Saturday’s defeat.
 
Southern Indiana will return home to Screaming Eagles Arena next week for games against Eastern Illinois University and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Thursday’s game against EIU is a 5 p.m. tip, as USI Women’s Basketball will host the annual Play4Kay Cancer Awareness game. Fans are encouraged to wear pink to pink out Screaming Eagles Arena. Next Saturday against SIUE will be Homecoming and Hall of Fame Night starting at 5 p.m.
