The University of Evansville men’s swimming and diving team gave it their all, but fell just short, as Miami (Ohio) University defeated the Aces 132-111.

“Our goals for teams competing against us is that we want them to respect us and know that we are going to battle until the end,” said Evansville head coach Rickey Perkins. “We gave Miami all we have and made them change their game plan, which I’m very happy about. I’m very proud of this team. They could have easily not been ready to race. They really stepped up. Of course I’m disappointed that we lost a lead, but we made them bring their A-game.”

The Aces opened the dual on a high note with a win in the 200 medley relay and continued to have multiple first place finishes. Freshman Alex Seward earned first in the 200 free and second in the 200 fly. Freshman Kyle Tiemann took the top spot in the 50 free and third in the 1000 free. Freshman Justin Shotwell placed first in the 200 IM while Colin Gray placed first in the 200 breast and second in the 200 IM. Chris Nash earned first in the 200 back and second in the 50 free. UE ended the last event of the 400-free relay in first.

Sophomore Bryan Hamann took second in the 1000 free while Jake Harrington took the second spot in the 200 free and 200 back. Senior Josh Fletcher took third in the one-meter dive.

The Aces travel to West Lafayette, Indiana, Saturday morning to take part in the Indiana Intercollegiate hosted by Purdue.
