By: Nancy Worley

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Louisville No. 7/10 swimming and diving teams won 22 races en route to their ninth consecutive victory over the University of Kentucky Saturday at the Lancaster Aquatic Center.

The Cardinal men defeated the Wildcat men 176.5 to 123.5 and the Cardinal women defeated the Wildcat women 167 to 133.

"Always exciting to go on the road and get a good team win," UofL head coach Arthur Albiero said after the win. "We have great respect for our opponents here. Very proud of our team – the way they battled. We had a tough dual-meet last night against a good conference opponent in Notre Dame, and then to come back-to-back like this and get on the road, it's a good challenge. It's a good way for us to learn and really take some of the new things and be able to learn from it, and I think this is going to help us going forward to championship competition. This is a team win all the way. It took everybody's effort. Unfortunately, we have a few kids under the weather and everybody had to step up. We'll walk away from here with our heads up and I'm very proud of the way we performed and the way we battled."
