EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern battled No. 16 Purdue Friday evening in a combined meet at the Norris Aquatics Center, winning six events but falling to the Boilermakers, 176-122. The Wildcats now are 0-2 on the season after facing a pair of ranked foes to begin the year.
Northwestern fought to out-touch Purdue for second place in the 200 medley relay to begin the meet. Jake Vogel (Canton, Ill./Canton), John Franklin (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./North Broward Prep), Brian Kerr (East Grand Rapids, Mich./East Grand Rapids) and Truman Liang (Brooklyn, N.Y./Hunter College High School) swam a 1:33.38 to finish just ahead of the Boilermakers' `B' squad, which had a 1:33.55.
In the 1,000 free, Peter Park (Princeton, N.J./Peddie School (N.J.)) was NU's top finisher with a 9:35.48 to take third place.
Senior Eric Nilsson (Weston, Mass./Weston) then captured the 200 free with a 1:38.07 before Adam Beckman (Kearney, Neb./Kearney) was the Wildcats' top finisher in the 100 back with a third-place time of 51.32.
Alex Tyler (Birmingham, Mich./Birmingham Groves) and Nathan Butler (Cincinnati, Ohio/Turpin) combined to take third and fourth in the 100 breast, with Tyler turning in a 58.73 and Butler contributing a 58.83.
Nilsson won his second event of the evening with a razor-thin .02 of a second victory in the 200 fly, swimming a 1:49.88 to out-touch Purdue's Sam Wilcher. Sean Mathews (St. Louis, Mo./Lafayette) was third with a 1:52.82. Liang then took third in the 50 free as NU's top finisher with a 21.29.
Following the break Liang again was NU's best swimmer with a third-place effort, this time with a 47.23 in the 100 free.
Beckman followed with one of the more impressive wins in the meet, capturing the 200 back by more than four full seconds with a time of 1:50.35. Beckman went out hard and pulled away with a 27.26 second 50 yards, 1.5 seconds faster than his nearest competitor in that leg.
In the 200 breast, Tyler took second for the 'Cats with a 2:07.52, then Nilsson's third victory of the meet followed with a 4:33.11 in the 500 free. Park was third for NU with a 4:38.42.
In the 100 fly, Mathews was NU's top finisher with a 50.49 to end up fourth.
In diving action, Purdue swept the 1-meter board but senior Alex Kiaie (Milwaukee, Wis./Nicolet) won the 3-meter board with a 329.48, bettering his own season-best from two weeks ago at Indiana that qualified him for NCAA Zones.
The Wildcats came out after the second diving break and swept the top three spots in the 200 IM with Tyler taking first in 1:54.52, Beckman earning second with a 1:55.59 and Park capturing third in 1:56.43.
NU closed out the meet with a second-place finish in the 200 free relay, going 1:25.40 to hold off Purdue's `B' squad by .13 of a second.
Also of note during the meet were a pair of exhibition swims from 2007 graduate, 2007 NCAA 100 breast national champion and two-time Olympian Mike Alexandrov. During the breaks, Alexandrov swam both the 100 and 200 breast, breaking his own pool record in the 100 with a 53.21.
Northwestern returns to action at 5 p.m. CT Thursday, Nov. 13, at Wisconsin.
