“Time-wise we had just outstanding swims,” Sorenson said. “We were a lot faster than our previous meets so I was real pleased.”

A close loss in the 200 medley relay helped push Nebraska to defeat the Cyclones during this double dual meet.

“Unfortunately they touched us out in the 200-medley relay,” Sorenson said. “But it was one of our fastest in season times ever, and that kind of set the tone for close races.”

Nordell said although the team saw success tonight, there are still places to improve.

“I think we still need to work on some detail things,” Nordell said. “A little bit quicker turns and then a few strategy things. … As far as our training I think we will be a little bit farther along in a couple of weeks.”
