QUINCY, Ill. – The Men's and Women's swimming teams were back in the pool once again today, Saturday (Nov. 5) hosting the Storm of Simpson College. After a tough loss to Truman State last night, the Hawks looked to right the ship today and right it, they did. The men's side came away with their second victory on the season defeating the Storm 137-70 while the women's squad posted a win for the first time this season and as a program with a 105-90 final, good for a home sweep by the Hawks.
The men's team gathered double digits event wins, nine individuals and one relay enroute to their second win of the season. With the win, the Hawks now sit at 2-3 on the season at just past the midpoint. With a relay and four meets left on the season before the conference tournament, QU finds themselves in solid position as a first-year program.
On the women's side, Quincy broke through into the win column for the first time in impressive fashion. After a very trying task facing off against Truman State the night before, the ladies came back punching in bunches swimming their way to nine event wins for the meet. Eight individual victories and one in a relay paved the way for a big first win to close out the sweep.
The Hawks won't take to the water again for a couple of weeks, getting back into action for the Gail Pebworth Invitational taking place Friday (Nov. 18) through Sunday (Nov. 20) in Crawfordsville, IN.
