EVANSTON, Ill. - In a Big Ten dual at Northwestern, the women's swimming and diving team defeated the Wildcats 160 to 130 and the men's team topped the Wildcats 163.5 to 136.5. There were a total of 19 events that the Badgers placed first in and 17 they placed second. 

On the men's side, Wes Jekel had a standout day, picking up wins in the 100 back (47.99), 200 back (1:45.38) and 200 IM (1:49.42). 

Phoebe Bacon stood out on the women's side winning the 100 back (53.78), 200 back (1:58.39), 200 IM (1:59.95) and 400 free relay (50.02). She took first in all four of her events.

In diving, Tazman Abramowicz continued to show his dominance in Big Ten Diving placing first in both the 1M (365.45) and 3M (416.55). His 3M performance set the Northwestern pool record, the Wisconsin school record, as well as it being his first time breaking 400 as a Badger.

The distance swimmers continue to control their races, especially Paige McKenna and Yigit Aslan who both won the 500 free and 1000 free. These two Badgers both won the 1000 free last weekend and Aslan also won the 500 free last weekend as well.

STRAIGHT FROM THE POOL DECK:

Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama: "I'm proud of the way our team competed to walk away with two big wins today. Northwestern is a strong, well-coached team and we weren't very familiar with that facility. We knew they were strong in certain events and I challenged the team to take it one race at a time and stay in it no matter what happened. We did a great job of that today. We still have a good amount of people carrying fatigue so a little bit of rest and further sharpening will put us in a good spot as we get ready for championship season."
