SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Several hundred people showed up to the Rolfs Aquatics Center on Friday night for Notre Dame versus Purdue, and they were greeted with an exciting performance from both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. The Irish men ultimately won their meet, 177-123 to moved to 2-0 on the year, while the women narrowly fell 165-135 and moved to 0-2.
In total, the Irish men put up four 1-2 finishes and Chris Guiliano and Tommy Janton were quadruple winners. The two shared relay victories in the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay.
