MILWAUKEE,
Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The
Green Bay men's and women's swimming teams wrapped up their dual meet seasons
Saturday afternoon in Milwaukee, with both squads falling to the in-state rival
Panthers at the Klotsche Natatorium. UWM took the men's contest 184-59, while

Despite the losses, the Phoenix diving corps had a

with an impressive 381.97.
Junior Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) also posted a pair of personal records Saturday,
finishing second in the 1-meter event (327.60) and third in the 3-meter
(328.72). On the women's side, sophomore Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.) had her career-best on the 3-meter board,
finishing second with a score of 265.80.
Green Bay sophomore Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) had the best day in the pool for
