On the surface, John Carroll's 205-57 win over Wilmington Saturday afternoon appears to be another strong effort by the Blue Streaks

But there was some historical significance to this victory.

The win over the Quakers secured the first undefeated dual meet season for JCU since the 2003-04 campaign and just the second in program history.
