Men's Swimmers Fall To Western Kentucky
Nov. 10, 2002 MILWAUKEE - A day after a sweep of UIC and Evansville in Chicago, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's swimming and diving team returned home, hoping to do the same to Western Kentucky. But Sunday's result could not have been more different, as the Panthers were on the losing end of a 140-88 decision at the Klotsche Center. Josh Baseheart continued his domination in the pool against the Hilltoppers, winning the 50 and 100 freestyles and anchoring the winning 400 freestyle relay. Baseheart won the 50 with a time of 21.65, and had a time of 46.39 in winning the 100. He then finished the day by touching out Western Kentucky's Gord Veldman at the wall to give the Panthers a win by .13 seconds. Peter Clark had the only other individual win on the day for the Panthers, winning the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:45.60. Michael Belting added a pair of second-place finishes in the 500 and 1000 freestyles, finishing the 500 in 4:45.41 and the 1000 in 9:51.04. Other top-three finishes were given by Ryan Frohmader in the 200 individual medley, finishing second in 2:01.37, Jeff Jasinowski, finishing second on 1m with 203.10 and third on 3m with 167.27, Jason Procto with a third-place finish in the 200 backstroke in 1:55.05, Matt Luba with a third-place finish in the 500 freestyle and Mac Carlson and Nick Bowers, who finished second and third in the 200 breaststroke.
With the loss, the Panthers fall to 3-3 on the season. The men's team is off until Dec. 6 and 7 when they will compete in the Wheaton Invitational.
