The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater men's and women's swimming and diving teams posted several strong performances Saturday on their way to dual victories over UW-Oshkosh at the Williams Center.
 
The Warhawk men posted a 175-95 victory, while the women claimed a 187-111 win.
 
"I was very happy with how our teams performed today," UW-Whitewater Head Coach Elise Knoche said. "We've had two weeks off since our last competition, but we picked up right where we had left off.
 
"We're always working to do the little things right, so when we compete at our mid-season meet and the WIAC Championships, we'll have perfected our dives and races to help us have peak performances. I saw improvements in dives from our divers, and improvements in race strategy from the swimmers today, so we know that we're making some good progress on those little things."
