MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee women’s swimming & diving program extended their winning streak to four meets with a victory over Davenport University today at the Klotsche Natatorium. In the first ever meeting between the two schools, Milwaukee came out on top by a score of 151-86.
Grace Hudson recorded possibly the most exciting win of the day, touching the wall 0.07 seconds ahead of her competition in the 500 yard freestyle and winning the event in thrilling fashion on the last length of the pool. Hudson also managed to finish third in the 200 yard freestyle.
In one of the largest victories of the afternoon, Skylar Ruggles won the 200 yard backstroke by more than five seconds, touching the wall in 2:05.02. Hanna DeGrace, however, more than doubled that margin of victory with 10+ second win in the 200 yard breaststroke. DeGrace also was a member of the first-place 200 yard medley relay team.
“It was a great start to our weekend,” head coach Kyle Clements said. “We haven’t seen the 200s of stroke events for a couple of weeks, and it was fun to see how far they’ve come since we last swam them. The fast part of the fall season is almost here and we as a team are starting to round into form.”
Milwaukee dominated the diving boards, sweeping the top three spots at both heights. Julie Rebek took the top spot for the Panthers on both occasions. Rebek’s score of 282.08 on the 1 meter board qualifies her for the NCAA D1 Zone D Diving Championships in Houston, taking place March 11-13.
Winning the 200 yard freestyle was Janelle Schulz, touching the wall in 1:55.33. Schulz also helped the 200 yard medley relay and 200 yard freestyle relay teams to wins.
Nhia Caras joined Schulz on both relay teams, while also picking up her own individual win in the 50 yard freestyle.
Another member of the aforementioned 200 yard freestyle relay team, Noelle Bryan, picked up an individual win in the 100 yard freestyle. Her time of 53.91 was more than two seconds better than the runner-up.
After today’s win, the Panthers have a quick turnaround, getting less than 24 hours of rest before hosting Wheaton College at 1 PM tomorrow afternoon.

Ben Lorenz had one of his best performances of this young season, winning the 50 yard freestyle and anchoring the Panthers’ first place 200 yard medley relay and 200 yard freestyle relay teams.
Charlie House swam the first leg of Milwaukee’s 200 yard freestyle relay team while also taking first in the 100 and 200 yard freestyles. Jay Jensen took the crown on the distance freestyles, winning both the 500 and 1000 yard races.
