TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Ball State men's swimming & diving team opened the second half of the season by winning five events against Southern Illinois Saturday afternoon at Indiana State's Vigo County Aquatic Center.
Despite the five event wins, the Cardinals (1-2) suffered a 196-102 setback to the Salukis (3-1).
Junior Joey Garberick set the pace for Ball State in the matchup by earning victories in the 100 (55.62) and 200 (2:04.57) breaststroke events. Garberick also led off the 200 freestyle relay that finished in first place for the Cardinals with a time of 1:22.28.
