Hoosiers fall to Michigan for second time this season, outscored 165 - 133

Despite stellar performances from several members of the team, the No. 7 Hoosiers failed to upset the No. 4 Michigan Wolverines this weekend, falling 165-133. IU lost to Michigan with a nearly identical score, 167-133, earlier this season.\n“I think we showed a lot better depth than when we first met in the fall,” said IU coach Ray Looze in an IU Athletics press release. “The biggest positive from today is that we were able to score more people in the meet. The guys are a little beat up and we lost a couple of close races. If we could have taken six or seven of the swimming events, I think we could have won the meet. There were maybe five races that I think we should have won, but they were just able to overtake us on the last lap or just out-touched us at the wall.”\nSenior swimmer Todd Patrick helped pick up several victories for the Hoosiers over the course of the afternoon, including a season-best time of 3:52.27 in the 400-yard medley. IU also saw a dominance in the 100-yard breaststroke, finishing second, third and fourth in the event. Senior swimmer Ben Hesen also chipped in to win both the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke for the Hoosiers. \nThe diving squad also saw its share of victories from the platforms. Freshman diver Landon Marzullo led the Hoosiers in scoring with a winning score of 378.08. Senior diver David Legler was second in scoring from the platform, and junior diver Will Bohonyi was third. Marzullo won both the three-meter and the platform dive competitions.\nBut even with the Hoosiers success over several events, the Wolverines still bested the Hoosiers to spoil an upset.\n“We are built for the conference meet, and I still think we can win the Big Ten championship,” Looze said. “I am confident in these guys and how hard they have worked. We just haven’t quite gotten over that hill yet.”
