GRAPEVINE, Texas – The Ouachita Baptist University swimming and diving teams turned in dominant performances on Saturday in big wins over Texas-Permian Basin and Southwestern.

With all teams competing at the same time, the Tigershark women came away with a 184-114 win over UTPB and a 197-97 win over Southwestern. The Tigershark men beat UTPB 180-119 and came away with a 218.50-75.50 win over Southwestern.

"First thing we want to do is thank the alumni, parents, and other fans that came out to support us today," said Ouachita Head Coach Steven Bostick. "It's always fun when an away meet feels like a home meet. The team brought high energy and were fun to watch… We're looking forward to carrying that momentum into next week." Ouachita crosses the street next Friday, October 21 to take on Henderson State for the first of two meetings against the Red Wave this season.
