EVANSTON, Ill. - Brielle Bovee (Winter Park, Fla./Lake Highland Prep) remained undefeated this season in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, but it wasn't enough, as the Northwestern men's and women's swimming and diving teams each fell to Wisconsin Friday night at the Norris Aquatics Center. NU's men fell to the Badgers 159-128, while the women lost 172-125.
The loss drops the Wildcat women to 3-3 overall in dual meets and 0-3 in the Big Ten, while the men fall to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in the conference.
