EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State traveled to West Lafayette, Ind. on Friday night to take on Purdue University. The men fell to the Boilermakers, (184-113), while the women were defeated 187.5-107.5.
"Credit to Purdue they competed well. We swam really well tonight and had a pretty good meet," said head coach Matt Gianiodis. "Emma Inch has a really good meet. I thought Michael Schwers swam really well and won two events. We were really close on a few of them and we've got some work to do before Oakland."
The Spartans first victory of the night was claimed by freshman Emma Inch in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:14.18, while freshman Sophia Balow came in second (10:28.15).
In the 200 freestyle, junior Aidan Farley took first place, clocking a time of 1:39.69.
Both junior Marie Dickson and Inch placed in the 200 butterfly. Dickson took first, (2:05.32), and Inch finished third (2:05.48).
The men also had two swimmers place in the 200 butterfly. Seniors Michael Schwers and Scott Piper took first and second place with times of 1:50.60 and 1:52.68, respectively.Â
Schwers claimed his second victory of the night in the 100 butterfly with a time of 49.50 and freshman Brad Sanford took third (50.61).
The Spartans women swept the top three spots in the 200 IM. Dickson finished in first, (2:07.57), junior Abbey Neveling took second, (2:09.10) and sophomore Kelley Heron took third, (2:12.89).
The women's 400 freestyle relay captured the final win of the night, (3:34.56), swam by Chloe Reed, Kennedy Truex, Allie Heineman and Olivia Chick.Â
The Spartans are back in action on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 2 p.m. as they host the Oakland Golden Grizzles.
