In an exciting late fall Ohio Athletic Conference meet, Ohio Northern defeated the John Carroll men's swimming team, but JCU's underclassmen ruled the day.

Four JCU underclassmen captured all of the team's five event victories in a stirring display of young talent for the Blue Streaks amidst the 186-112 loss in Ada, Ohio on Saturday afternoon.
