CHARLESTON, Ill. - The Ball State men's swimming and diving team suffered a one-point loss in a dual meet Sunday afternoon as the Cardinals fell to Eastern Illinois 103-102 at Padovan Pool. The Cardinals won six out of 11 events in the loss to fall to 1-1 on the young season, snapping BSU's four-year winning streak against head coach Bob Thomas' alma mater.
Ball State had three different swimmers win two events apiece in the loss. Senior Mark Golden (Itasca, Ill./Lake Park) took home victories in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:24.54) and the 500-yard freestyle (5:14.59) to garner the Cardinals 18 points.
Junior Chris Krupa (Indianapolis, Ind./Pike) took home to first place finishes as well as he won the 200-yard IM (1:58.31) and the 200-yard butterfly (1:57.11). The 200-yard butterfly victory marked the second of the season for Krupa who won last weekend in the Cardinals' victory over Evansville with a time of 1:57.83.
Junior Casey Schroeder (Williamsport, Ind./Seeger Memorial) rounded out the Cardinals' top finishers as he also claimed 18 points in the dual meet. Schroeder took home top billing in the 100-yard freestyle (48.06) and the 50-yard freestyle (21.68). He also swept the sprint freestyle events last weekend, touching the wall in 21.58 in the 50 and 48.30 in the 100.
Ball State returns to action Saturday afternoon as it travels to Ypsilanti, Mich., for its Mid-American Conference opener at Eastern Michigan at 1 p.m.
