The Anderson University men's swimming and diving team (1-1, 1-1) took down Hanover College (0-2, 0-2) by a score of 103-44 during Saturday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) dual in Bennett Natatorium.

Evan Kropf (Fort Wayne, Ind. / Concordia Lutheran) charged to first place in the 100-yard individual medley, clocking a school-record time of 56.03 seconds.

Matthew Hayward (Fort Wayne, Ind. / Concordia Lutheran) took first in the 11-dive 1-meter diving event with a score of 470.50 points and an average of 42.77 points per dive. The sophomore from Fort Wayne eclipsed an NCAA 'B' Qualifying Standard. Hayward punches his ticket to the NCAA Diving Regionals if he hits the standard a second time this season.

COACH EMMA MAUBACH'S COMMENTS

Our team did outstanding! Battling at home was a huge advantage. In the midst of the middle-season sludge, they persevered together. I am very proud of their efforts!
