SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Sweeps of the men's springboard diving events and women's breaststroke events helped the Boilermakers post a combined 11 victories, but the Purdue swimming & diving teams dropped both sides of their dual meet opener at Notre Dame on Friday.
The No. 25 Purdue men won four of the first five events, but were only victorious in one additional race the rest of the meet. Meanwhile, the No. 18 Fighting Irish had at least the top two finishers in six swimming events. That was ultimately the difference in the 157-126 final score.
Jinq En Phee (100) and Cady Farlow (200) teamed up for the sweep of the women's breaststroke events for Purdue. Seniors Danielle Auckley (50 free) and Taite Kitchel (200 IM) also won events, but No. 13 Notre Dame improved to 5-0-1 in dual results this season with a 190-110 victory.
Joe Cifelli accounted for the springboard diving sweep on the men's side. He teamed with Brandon Loschiavo and Ben Bramley to give the Boilermakers at least a 1-2 finish on both 1-meter and 3-meter.
Phee's winning time of 1:01.73 in the 100 breast accounted for Purdue's first NCAA provisional qualifying (B Cut) time of the season. An All-American in the event as a sophomore last season, she'll represent the Boilermakers at the inaugural ACC/Big Ten Challenge at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center next month.
Joe Young was victorious in the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly while also contributing to the victorious 200 medley relay to open the meet. Trent Pellini followed Young on medley relay quartet and later won the 100 breast.
Nick McDowell won the 1,000 free at Notre Dame for the second time in his career. Nikola Bjelajac was the runner-up in both freestyle sprints. Purdue accounted for a combined seven of the top nine finishers in the men's 50 and 100 free. But UND's Tabahn Afrik succeeded in sweeping the freestyle sprints.
The Notre Dame dual meet represented Purdue's second weekend of competition this season. The Boilermakers posted team season-best times or scores in a combined 24 of the 32 events.
Purdue returns to action Nov. 2 when its hosts Tennessee and Wisconsin for a triple dual. The special Friday matinee meet is slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. ET.
