Indiana University Men’s Swimming and Diving Finishes 3rd at the NCAA Championships <\/strong> The men of Indiana earned their second consecutive third place national finish at the 2026 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships on Saturday inside the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta. The national performance is Indiana eighth consecutive top six national finish and fifth consecutive top five finish. The program recorded 351 points, ranking only behind NCAA Champion Texas (445.5 points), runner-up Florida (416) and ahead of Arizona State (328). IU repeated as the No. 3 team in the nation despite returning only four individual scorers and graduating three national champions. Ten of Indiana’s 15 All-Americans this year were first-time individual point-scorers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hoosiers set Big Ten and program records in four events. Senior Zal\u00e1n S\u00e1rk\u00e1ny opened the week with an NCAA record 1,000-yard freestyle, going 8:33.10 in his mile split. His 14:12.20 in that 1,650-yard freestyle reset his own Big Ten and program records in the event. Two days later, S\u00e1rk\u00e1ny set another conference record in the 500 free with his 4:07.95. Senior\u00a0Owen McDonald’s<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0second-place 200 IM performance on Saturday came with another Big Ten record, his time a 1:38.57. This season, Indiana won its 32nd and fifth consecutive Big Ten Championship. In that meet, the Hoosiers won 10 Big Ten Championships, earned 27 medals, swept three events and totaled 1,544.5 points to win by a margin of 336.5 points over the field. IU has won eight of the last 10 men’s swim and dive titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Softball Tops Detroit Mercy on Saturday Afternoon<\/strong> After an early 2-0 deficit, Indiana Softball quickly flipped the script to handle business against Detroit Mercy on Saturday winning 7-5, at Andy Mohr Field. The win gives Indiana the 2-0 series victory and puts the Hoosiers at 27-7 overall.  Detroit Mercy\u2019s Liv Peterson singled through the right side to score two runners and put the Titans up 2-0 in the top of the first.  Josie Bird helped the Hoosiers cut into the lead right away with a double to left center which scored Avery Parker to make it a 2-1 game in the bottom of the first.  Wendy Ketola pushed Detroit Mercy\u2019s lead to 3-1 in the top of the second with a solo homer to left field in the top of the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Hoosiers (Aly VanBrandt and Avery Parker) were hit by pitches with the bases loaded in the bottom of the second evened the score at 3-3.  Indiana took the lead for good in the bottom of the third when Hannah Haberstroh singled to right field to score Madalyn Strader and then Cassidy Kettleman scored on an error in the next at bat to make it a 5-3 game.  A bases-clearing triple from Ellie Goins extended the lead to 7-3 in the bottom of the fourth.  Detroit Mercy would score two runs in the top of the seventh, but Indiana shut it down from there to secure the 7-5 win. Brooke Mannon\u2019s career high eight strikeouts helped propel her to earning the win and a 6-0 record on the season. Indiana has won five of its last six games. Six different Hoosiers recorded an RBI including Ellie Goins who led the way with two.  Hannah Haberstroh was 2-for-4 at the plate; it marked her sixth multi-hit game of the season. Indiana will have no midweek games ahead of its next series the following weekend at No. 7 UCLA from April 3-5 in Los Angeles, Calif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Track and Field Closes the Final Day of the Raliegh Relays Hoosiers Close Final Day of Raleigh Relays<\/strong> The Indiana track and field team wrapped the second day of the Raleigh Relays seeing personal bests and high finishes in multiple events.  \u201cThe Raleigh Relays are a great early season test for us,\u201d said associate head coach Eric Heins. \u201cWe see competition from most of the East Region and athletes have a great opportunity to hit marks that will qualify them for the NCAA First Round. The throws group competed really well, and the results showed that with personal bests, first round marks and top 5 finishes. The women\u2019s distance group competed well and raced with intent while the men\u2019s distance group looked flat and did not have a very high level of competitive spirit. It is the first meet of the year so we will keep building on our successes and learn from our failures, getting better throughout the season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hoosiers closed the weekend with appearances in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s hammer throw events. Nikolaos Sidirenios started the day finishing ninth with his distance of 60.38m\/198-1. Seth Brosseau also saw his second personal best of the weekend, throwing a distance of 51.37m\/168-6. In the women\u2019s hammer throw, Bridget Beyer closed the weekend with a 14th<\/sup> place finish with a throw of 54.14m\/177-7. The Hoosiers will be back on the road next week as they travel to Baton Rouge, La. To compete in the Battle of the Bayou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Baseball Drops Second Game of the Nebraska Series <\/strong> After getting the game within one run, the bottom of the seventh inning quickly got away from the Indiana Baseball team (10-16, 3-8 B1G) on Saturday afternoon at Haymarket Park in Lincoln. Two free passes, an error and five hits allowed Nebraska (21-6, 7-1 B1G) to break the game open. The home team would eventually finish off a 12-7 win to secure the series in Lincoln.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freshman pinch hitter Owen ten Oever gave IU life in the sixth inning with a three-run home run, his second base knock of the weekend. IU got within one run on a bases-loaded walk from sophomore shortstop Cooper Malamazian but stranded three ducks on the pond with a groundout from sophomore outfielder Cole Decker. A brilliant sixth-inning performance with no outs and the bases loaded helped junior right-handed pitcher Jackson Yarberry give momentum back to the visitors. But his second inning of work didn’t go as planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nebraska jumped him for seven runs, all of them with two outs in the frame. Redshirt senior right-handed pitcher Pete Haas came on and finally got the final out. As it has been all year, self-inflicted mistakes cost the Hoosiers a chance to win the ballgame. IU’s pitchers handed out 13 free passes (eight walks, five hit-by-pitches) while the offense was just 2-12 (.167) with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners on base. IU will look to salvage the final game of the series this afternoon when it sends sophomore southpaw Brayton Thomas to the bump. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. ET\/Noon CT at Haymarket Park in Lincoln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana’s Josh Bey and Zalan S\u00e1rk\u00e1ny Highlight Friday at NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships<\/strong> \u00a0<\/strong> Indiana earned four top five performances and six podium finishes on Friday the third of four days at the 2026 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships inside the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta. IU used its numbers to improve to third place in the team standings with one day remaining. Senior Zal\u00e1n S\u00e1rk\u00e1ny closed his collegiate career with a Big Ten and program record swim in the 500-yard freestyle. S\u00e1rk\u00e1ny became the first swimmer in Big Ten history to break the 4:08 barrier, his 4:07.95 finishing fourth in Friday night’s final. In his last NCAA Championships, S\u00e1rk\u00e1ny earned top 10 finishes in all three of his events, set an NCAA record in the 1,000-yard freestyle and broke the Big Ten and program records in the 500, 1,000 and 1,650 freestyle events. Junior\u00a0Aaron Shackell\u00a0placed sixth in the event after setting a personal best 4:11.14 in the prelim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the second consecutive season, a Hoosier recorded a sub-1:49 in the 200-yard breaststroke final. Freshman\u00a0Josh Bey\u00a0swam a 1:48.79 in a silver medal performance to become the second-fastest man in program history, the second-fastest freshman in NCAA history and the No. 10 quickest swimmer all-time. Among Hoosiers all-time, he sits second only to 2025 NCAA Champion\u00a0Jassen Yep\u00a0(1:48.30). In lane eight beside Bey, junior\u00a0Toby Barnett\u00a0became the third-fastest Hoosier all-time with his 1:49.80, which placed sixth. Four Hoosiers scored in the top 10 of the 200 breaststroke Friday between Bey, Barnett, freshman\u00a0Noah Cakir\u00a0and sophomore\u00a0Alexei Avakov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After becoming the second Hoosier under 44 seconds in the 100-yard backstroke with a morning 43.98, senior\u00a0Owen McDonald\u00a0lowered his best time again in the final with a 43.84. That time tied for fifth with Army West Point sophomore Johnny Crush. McDonald will race his final individual event Saturday as the top-seeded swimmer in the 200-yard IM. Indiana ended its high-scoring evening with a fourth consecutive top five finish in the 400-yard medley relay. The quartet of sophomore\u00a0Miroslav Knedla, Avakov, McDonald and junior\u00a0Dylan Smiley\u00a0placed fifth with a 2:59.96.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson<\/strong> Dale Stays Hot in Taylor’s Loss to Michigan-Dearborn<\/strong> On the heels of a 12-point outing for Jackson Dale in TU\u2019s win at Siena Heights on Wednesday, the junior turned in another big outing with 11 more points on Saturday. Dale\u2019s effort was not enough however, as No. 9 Taylor was upset by Michigan-Dearborn in a 19-15 defeat. Dale ended the day with six goals, five assists and eight ground balls and the Trojan attack was further powered by two goals each from AJ Harris, Jack Kaiser and Henry Cooper. Harris also added three assists and five ground balls, with Cooper dishing out two assists. Lucas Pacer also continued to put up big numbers, logging nine ground balls and three more caused turnovers to lead the TU defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those individual performances were not enough for an injury-depleted Taylor squad however, as the Trojans struck for three goals in the first three minutes before losing control of the game. UMD (5-5, 2-3 WHAC) countered TU\u2019s fast start with eight of the next nine goals to close the period with an 8-4 cushion. The Wolverines feasted on multiple TU penalties, netting four man-up scores in the first period with three coming during a game-changing three-minute non-releasable penalty on the Purple and Gray. After seemingly finding its footing in the second, Taylor again saw a rash of unforced errors allow the guests to balloon their lead. This time the Wolverines pushed the spread with 16-9 with the first four scores of the second half. Taylor could never get any closer than four goals the rest of the way, falling for a third-straight time at Wheeler Field with a 19-15 setback. No. 9 Taylor (6-4, 2-3 WHAC) will look to snap that skid on Wednesday, April 1 at 3:00 pm when it hosts No. 1 Madonna (9-1, 5-0 WHAC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor University Cheer Competes in Prelims at NAIA National Championships<\/strong> The Taylor competitive cheer team made more history on Friday, taking the mat at the NAIA National Championships for the first time in program history. The Trojans scored an 82.52 in Friday\u2019s preliminary round. TU will enter Saturday\u2019s final round in 12th place out of 15 teams at the event, with Saturday\u2019s total accounting for 75 percent of the final score at Nationals. Taylor will look to move up the standings when it takes the mat at 11:30 am (ET) for the final performance of its historic 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
