ASHLAND, Ohio-  Behind the strength of four NCAA "B" cuts and a  new school record, the University of Indianapolis swimming and diving teams each notched wins over host Ashland University on Saturday.  The Greyhound men cruised to a 136-95 win while the women fended off the Eagles for a 106-99 victory in the dual.

The 200 and 1000 freestyle events were the highlight events on both sides as each saw an NCAA B-standard by a Greyhound.  Ellie Miller won the 1,000 free (10:40.24), part of her two wins on the day.  Alican Alacli etched a new UIndy record in the men's 1,000 free with his 9:34.66 effort.

The 200 free saw reigning Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Female Swimmer of the Week Isabela Tafur go 1:56.53 for her second B-cut in that event in two weeks.  Alex Arestis turned the trick on the men's side, touching in 1:43.89.

Other highlights of the day included Tafur also winning the 100 free.  Erica Smith was the top finisher in the 200-yard individual medley, marking a 2:14.59 time while also winning the 200 butterfly (2:13.75).  Alacli went sub 2-minutes in the 200 fly, etching a 1:59.69 effort.

Chad Damitz managed a sub-2:00 time in the 200 backstroke with his winning 1:59.57 performance.  Yaman Oguz took the 500 freestyle and Randy Weiss won both the 1- and 3-meter springboard to help the men to victory.

The Greyhounds next head to national power Truman State for a two-day dual, set to begin on Nov. 2.
