BEREA, OHIO - The Baldwin Wallace University swimming and diving teams split in dual meet competition tonight (Friday, November 19, 2010) to Ohio Athletic Conference rival the University of Mount Union in the BW Natatorium inside the Lou Higgins Center in Berea.
The BW men won, 127-116, to improve to 3-2-1 overall and a perfect 2-0 in the OAC, but the women lost to the Purple Raiders, 143-93, to fall to 1-5 overall and 0-2 in the OAC this season. The teams are back in action tomorrow when they travel to Springfield, Ohio and Wittenberg University where they will compete in a tri-match with the host Tigers and traditional rival Oberlin College in the Wittenberg HPE Center at 3:00 p.m.
The Yellow Jacket women were led by sophomore two-time NCAA Division III All-American diver Julie Pinter (Broadview Heights/ Brecksville-Broadview Hts.), the reigning two-time OAC Women's Swimming Athlete of the Week, as she placed first in both the one-meter voluntary and one-meter optional diving events as she recorded scores of 178.45 and 262.10 points, respectively.
