The RedHawks are 1-1 after splitting a double-dual meet with Southern Illinois and Evansville on Oct. 8. Miami beat Evansville by a 179-57 margin and fell to SIU 162-81. Senior James Beres and junior Chris Hoppler won the one- and three-meter diving competitions, respectively, to lead the RedHawks.

Senior Chris Gunnels finished first in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke and fellow senior Brendan Melling touched first in the 200 breaststroke. Juniors Ian Joyce and Alex Reinhardt won the 200 backstroke and 500 freestyle, respectively, while sophomore Sean Minderlein won the 1000 freestyle in his first event as a RedHawk.
