The University of Evansville men’s and women’s diving team lost in a dual meet against conference rival Missouri State tonight at UE’s Wyttenbach Pool. The women lost by a score of 72-41 while the men were defeated by a score of 92-21.

"I'm proud of our effort," said head coach Rickey Perkins. "And I'm proud that MSU respected us enough to bring their A-game tonight. I think that speaks very highly of our improvement this season."

Christina Schmidgall notched two first place finishes for the women, winning the 200- and 500-freestyle. Michea Reinitz also nabbed a win, taking first place in the 200-butterfly with a time of 2:10.76. Diver Sadie Wells swept the diving events, posting top scores in the 1-meter and 3-meter. Jen Childers was a close second on the 3-meter board, scoring a season-best 261.45.

Diver Andy Balczo was the only Purple Ace to claim a win on the men’s side. Balczo won the 1-meter event with a score of 260.6 and was less than two points away from taking first place on the 3-meter board as well. Will Spradley posted second place finishes in the 50- and 100-free. UE’s men’s relay team also claimed second place in the 400-medley and 400-freestyle relays.
