BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana women's diving team closed out the two-day diving dual meet against UCLA with a 39-18 triumph at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center in Bloomington, Ind., on Jan. 14. Junior Lindsay Weigle claimed her second title in as many days with a solid 304.75 outing on the platform.
"Our divers really gained confidence this weekend," Indiana head diving coach Dr. Jeff Huber said. "We have really beaten them up with training over the holidays, and we are looking forward to them getting well-rested by the championship season. If I had to give out gold stars, everyone would have gotten one for some of the spectacular performances we had top-to-bottom."
The Hoosiers wound up sweeping the top-three spots as sophomore Christina Loukas recorded a personal-best 303.90 for second place, while senior Heather Chapman registered a third-place 294.525. UCLA's Tess Schofield (244.875) and Brittany Hill (232.45) rounded out team scoring with fourth and fifth-place efforts.
Also of note, sophomore Ashley Greene posted a career-high tally of 217.35 for sixth place.
"I feel really good after winning," Weigle said. "It is exciting that my teammates also did so well. This weekend is really a confidence boost as we tend to feed from each other's successes. It is really motivating to see everyone do so well."
Next up, No. 18 Indiana hosts No. 14 Purdue in a battle for a point in the AT&T Crimson and Gold Cup Series on Jan. 21 at 1 p.m. The senior weekend meet will take place at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center in Bloomington, Ind.
