Cardinal women get first-ever win over the Hoosiers

By: Nancy Worley

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The University of Louisville men's swimming and diving teams wrapped up the regular season with a split versus rival Indiana on Friday afternoon at Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center.

The No. 10 Cardinal women captured nine wins to defeat the No. 14 Hoosier women 171-129 for the Cardinals' first-ever win over IU. The No. 7 Cardinal men captured three wins, but fell to the No. 4 Hoosier men 195-105.

"Always tough to go on the road at this time of the season," UofL head coach Arthur Albiero said after the meet. "Every program has their own timeline in regards to rest and championship preparation. More importantly, we are always looking for progression at every dual meet, and we saw many performances that show we are on the right track for ACC's and NCAA's. Our women did a great job of focusing on our race plans and strategy, and they were able to pull off a great team win on the road. I am proud of this group of women and how they have grown together. They are doing a great job of supporting one another, and that is showing in our performances. Our seniors continue to set the tone for the group. Credit to the opponent today. The guys battled hard, but it seemed every close race did not go in our favor. Again, we always compete to win, but today we fell short. I am proud of our seniors and the way they continue to lead this group. We are excited to shift our focus now into preparation for ACCs and NCAAs"
