MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – University of Iowa swimming and diving fell to No. 23 Minnesota, 192-108, at Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center on Friday evening.
“From the beginning of the meet, we showed determination, grit, and focus,” Iowa head coach Nathan Mundt said. “Although the team score didn’t fall our way, our entire team got better tonight. We fought and competed in every event against a Top 25 opponent. We’re excited to get back to work and continue to improve at our Hawkeye Invitational coming up next.”
