ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The Michigan State swimming and diving teams fell to conference rival Michigan on Friday night at McCaffree Pool. The men fell to No. 4 ranked Michigan 131-67, and the women fell to the No. 2 ranked Wolverines 117-81.

"I'm really happy for the three freshman women who have earned their varsity letters," head coach Matt Gianiodis said. "Lauren Biglin, Ava Boutrous, and Claire Schenden earned hers last week and then Gretchen Schultz did a nice job in the 50. We've got a couple weeks now, three for the men and two for the women, where we just have to get some rest and see how fast we can go at the Big Ten meet."
