LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The University of Louisville men's swim team beat Xavier and Evansville while the women beat Xavier and were edged by just a single point by Evansville in a three-way dual meet at Crawford Pool.

The men beat Evansville 59-52 and Xavier 51-44. The women won 49-46 over Xavier and were nipped 57-56 by Evansville.

"It was a great meet and we had some key players really step up for us." said head coach Sonja Porter. "We lost some kids to illness on the women's side and a bit of a swing here and there didn't help the cause."

Both teams started out strong with wins in the 400-Medley Relay. The women won by almost three seconds and the men just over two. Both relay teams were faster than their performance against Notre Dame earlier this season. The men carved off two seconds and the women three for an in-season best performance.

Laruen Bullock (200-free), Stephanie Basler (500- free) won their races on the women's side. Diver Katie Collins also placed first in the 1-meter board.

"When you have small numbers like we do, you have to stay healthy," said Porter.

The women also won the 800-free relay with Bullock and Basler teaming with Angie Nicolletta and Ann Isaacs for the win.

"The women who had to swim for us couldn't have done anymore. They stepped right in and did what they needed to do to get things done. We are moving in the right direction for what will need to be done at the Conference USA meet," said Porter.

The men had wins by Jacob Grieb in both the 50- and 100-free. Senior Nils Lofgren had a come-from-behind win in the 200-fly in the last home meet of the season. Freshman Matt Lees swam four seconds faster than his personal best in the 200-IM. Grieb and Lofgren were also on the winning 400-Medley Relay team along with Joseph Mittel and Ryan Maynard. Diver Sean Wilkinson set a school record in the 3-meter board with 601.13.

"I think the most important thing we accomplished tonight was gelling as a team and I watcheds as the team began to feed off each other's enthusiasm and look to each other for motivation," said Porter.
