Aqualopers Shine in Home Quadrangular

Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska-Kearney Aqualopers swam past the Tabor (Kan.) College Bluejays, Midland University Warriors and College of St. Mary Flames Saturday afternoon at Kearney High.

This was UNK's annual quadrangular and also included men's teams from Tabor and Midland. The Aqualopers (4-0) outscored Tabor, 155-54, and Midland, 137-60, by big margins while having a closer battle with CSM, 126-86.
