CARBONDALE, Ill. – Southern Illinois swim and dive ended the home portion of their 2025-26 season on Saturday with a women's meet versus Vanderbilt. SIU took care of business all day long, powering their way to a 183.5-75.5 victory.
How it Happened
The meet started with the 400-medley relay, where SIU's "A" and "B" teams came in first and second. Southern kept winning moving to individual events as Lívia Munkácsi-Nagy took the gold in the 1000-freestyle. Susy Hernandez grabbed another win for SIU in the 200-freestyle.
