WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Emily Bretscher, Greg Duncan and Trent Pellini all won a pair of individual events to account for a combined six of Purdue swimming & diving's 12 victories in dual meet action Friday vs. nationally ranked Notre Dame at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center.
The Fighting Irish won both sides of the co-ed dual, which featured final scores of 168-132 for the women and 181-119 for the men.
Bretscher and Duncan each swept the springboard diving events. Pellini demonstrated his versatility by winning both the 100 breaststroke and 100 butterfly. That trio of Boilermakers accounted for team season-best marks in each of those victories. Combined, Purdue posted team season bests in 25 of the 32 events contested Friday.
The Purdue women not only swept the breaststroke events, but did so in dominant fashion. Jinq En Phee won the 100 breast vs. UND for the third year in a row. She teamed up with Riley Kishman and Sylvia Kobylak for a 1-2-3 finish in the event. Kobylak later won the 200 breast for her first collegiate victory, with Phee finishing second.
The Boilermakers also enjoyed 1-2-3 finishes in a pair of freestyle event. The men's trio of Ryan Hrosik, Nikola Bjelajac and Ryan Lawrence went 1-2-3 in the 50 free. Megan Johnson and Claire Abbasse touched the wall simultaneously in the 100 free, teaming with Gretta DeCoursey for a 1-2-3 in the event. Abbasse earned her first collegiate victory in an individual event in the process. Including last Friday's intrasquad meet, Johnson is now 3-for-3 in 100 free wins early this season.
Johnson was also a big part of the most thrilling finish of the night. She anchored Purdue's 400 free relay team to victory, out touching UND's Rachel Wittmer by .02 hundredths of a second thanks to a 100 split of 50.73. Only Whittmer had a better split (50.32) in the entire race. Gretta DeCoursey, Kendra Bowen and Abbasse also contributed to the relay victory.
Nick McDowell (1,000) and Pellini (100 breast) won events vs. the Fighting Irish for the second year in a row as well. They were also part of exciting finishes. McDowell and UND's Sadler McKeen kept pace with each other over all 40 lengths of the pool in the 1,000, with McDowell eventually winning by seven tenths of a second. Pellini out touched UND's Zach Smith by one tenth of a second in the 100 fly.
Duncan impressed with big scores in the dive well, winning on 1-meter with a 375-point list and on the 3-meter with a 400-point list. He was victorious on 3-meter by 60 points over teammate Ben Bramley and bested UND's top finisher by 78.98 points. Bretscher won with a 300-point list on 1-meter and 350-point list on 3-meter. She won on 3-meter by 40 points.
Freshmen Keelan Hart, Michael Juengel and Mallory Jump joined upperclassmen Bretscher, Duncan, McDowell and Pellini as Boilermakers to be their team's top finishers in multiple individual events.
Purdue returns to action Friday, Nov. 8 for a dual meet at No. 3/10 Tennessee.
