Holding the team’s final home meet of the season, the University of Evansville swimming and diving team sent its seniors out in style with a dominating win over Asbury College on Saturday.

The women’s team won a convincing 172-64 while the men topped the Eagles 155-76. 

"We did a wonderful job of bouncing back after a tough meet and bus ride yesterday," said Evansville head coach Rickey Perkins. "It was good to see them focused on the meet instead of how tired they were from the trip. A great meet across the board. Jen (Childers) making zones was awesome. Now the women will start resting and focusing on MVC Championships. The men will get ready for Southern Illinois."

Junior diver Jennifer Childers scored high enough in the three-meter boards to qualify for zone championships with a 281.20. Childers joins freshman Sadie Wells and junior Andy Balczo in qualifying, as Wells and Balczo reached the mark earlier this year.

The women’s team took first in every individual event but one in the contest. Freshman Phoebe Hodina opened the meet with a win in the 1000 free while fellow freshman Michea Reinitz placed first in the 200 free and 200 fly. Sophomore Hannah Quast finished first in the 50 and 100 free. Sophomore Kassandra Beseau took the top time in the 200 back, and junior Christina Schmidgall took first in the 500 yard.

On the men’s side, the Aces had numerous top finishes, including both the 400 medley and 400 free relays. UE swept the 50 free, as junior Will Spradley took first, sophomore Jake Harrington second and freshman Alex Seward third. Junior Zach Kanet finished first in the 200 fly while Seward took first in the 100 free. Harrington also took first in the 500 free, and sophomore Colin Gray wrapped things up with a win in the 200 breast.
