EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern earned nine NCAA `B' standard cut times Saturday in its dual meet against No. 16 Tennessee, but fell to its ranked opponent in the team scoring, 210-139.
The meet was split into a morning and evening session, with every event competed at the Big Ten and NCAA Championship meets held.
The Wildcats opened the meet with a second-place finish in the 400 medley relay. Andrea Hupman (Lawrenceville, Ga./Brookwood), Jessie Bailis (Omaha, Neb./Millard North), Katie Braun (Edina, Minn./Edina) and Emily Wong (Nepean, Ontario/St. Joseph's) combined to swim a 3:48.20 in the event, Northwestern's best time of the year.
Freshman distance phenom Kassia Shishkoff (Raleigh, N.C./St. David's School) then lit up the field in the 500 free, swimming an NCAA `B' cut of 4:48.78 to win the event by nearly seven seconds. Her time was the best of her collegiate career and was just .14 seconds off of the Norris pool center. It also placed her fifth on NU's all-time list in the event.
Freshman Jenn Kocsis (Omaha, Neb./Marian) took third in the 500 free with a 5:00.59, while classmate Genny Szymanski (Haines, Alaska/Haines) took fourth with a 5:04.56.
The Wildcats took first and third again in the next event, with Hupman capturing the 100 free in an NCAA `B' time of 50.19. Wong was third with a `B' standard of 50.90.
In the 200 breast, Bailis and Hayley Fry (Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar) took third and fourth, respectively.
Junior captain Beth Campbell (Burr Ridge, Ill./Fenwick) placed second on the 1-meter board during the morning sessions' diving action, scoring 244.20 points.
Braun and freshman Rachel Rys (Goleta, Calif./Dos Pueblos) then took second and third for the 'Cats in the 100 fly, with Braun swimming a 56.44 and Rys a 57.84.
Szymanski came out on top of a tight battle for second place in the 200 back, turning in a 2:05.16 to out-touch Tennessee's Danyelle Vincent by .7 seconds.
Shishkoff then produced her second `B' cut of the morning with a 4:22.95 to win the 400 IM for Northwestern.
The morning concluded with a great battle in the 200 free relay. Tennessee's A squad took an early lead over NU's Wong and Bailis, but Hupman swam a blistering 22.69 split in the third leg to draw the Wildcats nearly dead even with the Lady Vols. Brittany Nauta of Tennessee anchored her relay with a 23.31 split, barely besting Shishkoff's 23.39 for the 'Cats. Both teams turned in NCAA `B' cuts, with Tennessee swimming a 1:33.13 and Northwestern producing a 1:33.34 for its first NCAA standard time in a relay this season.
The afternoon session kicked off with an NU victory in the 200 medley relay. Szymanski, Bailis, Braun and Fry combined to swim a 1:45.35 to finish first.
Rys then took second in the 200 fly with a time of 2:03.83 before Shishkoff busted out her third `B' cut of the meet in the 200 free. The freshman swam a 1:49.43 to lead a Wildcat sweep of the top three places in the event. Hupman was second with a `B' standard of 1:49.82 while Wong took third with a 1:50.32.
Shishkoff's time entered her into the seventh spot on NU's all-time top performers list in the 200 free.
In the 200 breast, Bailis was second with a 1:04.25 before Campbell turned in NU's best performance in 3-meter diving with a score of 162.65 to finish third.
Tennessee took the top two spots in the 50 free, with Hupman, Wong and Bailis finishing third, fourth and fifth, respectively, for the 'Cats.
In the 100 back, Szymanski was in a three-way battle for first before ending up third with a 58.81, just .29 seconds out of the top spot.
In her fourth event of the day, Shishkoff saved her most impressive performance for last. In the 1650 free, she set a Norris Aquatics Center pool record with a 16:28.01 to win the event and earn her fourth NCAA `B' time of the meet. The swim broke the previous record of 16:33.80 set 10 years earlier by Amy Olberhelman of Stanford.
Classmate Kocsis also had a great swim, going 16:51.49 to also notch a `B' cut and finish second.
Shishkoff now is fifth on NU's all-time top performers list in the event, while Kocsis' swim moves her onto the list in the ninth spot.
In the final individual event of the meet, Braun was second for the 'Cats in the 200 IM with a 2:07.32.
Northwestern's team of Wong, Shishkoff, Kocsis and Hupman took second in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:25.82 to conclude the meet.
Northwestern returns to action at 5 p.m. CT, January 12, against Marshall in a meet being held at Ohio State.
