Mike Alexandrov Sets 3 Pool Records; NU Falls to Purdue, 152-148

Nov. 13, 2004

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Mike Alexandrov (Champaign, Ill./Centennial) won three events and set three pool records in the process, but No. 14 Northwestern was narrowly defeated Friday afternoon by No. 20 Purdue, 152-148 at Norris Aquatics Center.

Alexandrov set pool records in the 100 breast (54.29), 200 breast (1:58.10) and 200 IM (1:49.01) that helped keep the 'Cats in the match.

The result of the match was in doubt until the final event, the 400 free relay. If two of the three Wildcats' relay teams could finish first and third, the match would end in a tie, while a complete sweep would mean victory.

The team of Kyle Bubolz (Waukesha, Wis./Waukesha North) , James Sourbeer (Des Moines, Iowa/Dowling Catholic), Matt Grevers (Lake Forest, Ill./Lake Forest), and Jon Ehret (Phoenix, Ariz./Brophy College Prep) grabbed first place for the 'Cats, but the next best Northwestern team finished fourth, missing third by 1.6 seconds and sealing the Purdue victory.

Three other Wildcats showed up twice in the win column. Junior Brian Davis (Issaquah Wash./Issaquah) put together a pair of dominating performances in the 500 and 1000 free for Northwestern, winning both events by more than five seconds.

Grevers swept the back events, winning both the 100 (50.02) and 200 (1:48.13). The other two-event winner was Bubolz, who won the 50 free (21.00) and 100 fly (50.41).

Another freshman, David Kormushoff (Hinsdale, Ill./Hinsdale Central), showcased his potential by finishing second in both the 50 and 100 free.

In fact, Purdue won only three events, but picked up enough points thanks to their depth as well as sweeping the top three positions in both diving events in order to pull of the upset.

With the loss, No. 14 Northwestern's record now stands at 1-2, 0-2 in the Big Ten. Purdue improved to 2-0 overall, 1-0 in the Big Ten. The Wildcats will next be in action this Sunday against the Wisconsin Badgers at 3:00 pm in the Norris Aquatics Center.
