The Iowa women’s swimming and diving team dropped its first Big Ten meet to Wisconsin on Oct. 16, 216-83.

The loss dropped the Hawkeye to 1-1 overall on the season.

The AquaHawks only mustered two first-place finishes in the meet with junior Katarina Tour winning the 100 butterfly and senior Laura Mozdzen taking the 200 butterfly.

Despite being overmatched by the Badgers, the Hawkeyes took several positives away from the meet. Iowa swimmers took second in seven individual events and one relay.

In individual events, junior cocaptain Verity Hicks took second in two events, as well as swimming a leg in the second-place 400 yard freestyle relay.

Tour, senior Christine Kuczek, sophomore Danielle Carty, and redshirt freshman Grace Borchers also had individual second-place finishes.

The Aquahawks will return to Iowa City for their first home meet of the season on Friday, taking on Michigan State, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Missouri State in the Irving Weber meet.
