Haus, Dillinger Lead Hens to Upset of Undefated Tigers

 

NEWARK, DE -- The Blue Hen men won easily and the UD women pulled of a big upset as the University of Delaware swimming and diving teams swept Towson University in an America East dual meet Saturday at Rawstrom Pool.

The Delaware men (5-1, 2-0 America East) won their third straight meet by a score of 148-85 as Bryan Kahner (Jericho/Jericho, NY) won two events. The Delaware women (5-1, 2-0) also won their third straight meet with a 137-109 verdict as Jennifer Haus (St. Mark's/Newark, DE) collected three first place finishes. The meet was the final home dual meet of the season for the Blue Hens, who close out the regular season next Saturday at Loyola. Delaware will host the America East championships Feb. 18-20.

The Towson men fell to 6-4 with their third straight loss while the Tiger women suffered their first setback of the season to fall to 8-1. Towson is coached by former UD standout Patrick Mead.

The Delaware women won the first five events of the meet to take control and post the victory, their 22nd straight win since 1978-79 over Towson.

Haus, a sophomore, was a triple winner for the Blue Hens, winning the 1,000 freestyle in 10:32.98, the 100 freestyle in 54.77, and the 500 freestyle in 5:13.47.
