GREENCASTLE, IND. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology swimming and diving teams combined for three victories and one school record at nationally ranked DePauw University on Wednesday night.

Sophomore Stephanie Hance (Noblesville) tallied the school record with a time of 2:27.52 in the 200-yard butterfly to capture second-place honors.

The Engineers combined to earn nine runner-up finishes on the evening.  Freshman Michael Gerdov (Lincolnshire, Ill./Adlai Stevenson) paced the effort with 227.65 points in one-meter diving and 236.60 in three-meter diving.

Senior Adam Effinger (Plainfield) joined Vande Lune with two second-place performances.  Effinger placed second in the 100-butterfly with a time of 53.46 seconds, while Vande Lune placed second in the 200-freestyle in 1:50.17.  The duo joined Sorensen and junior Nick Lee (Bryan, Texas) with a second-place in the 200-freestyle relay in a time of 1:30.88.

On the women's side, Rose-Hulman earned four second-place efforts, paced by the Hance school record in the 200-butterfly.  Other runner-up finishes were earned by senior Anita Isch (Buffalo, Minn.) with a time of 58.21 in the 100-freestyle; freshman Caitlin Kohli (Lima, Ohio/Bath) with a time of 2:08.86 in the 200-freestyle; and sophomore Deb Aleksa (Glendale, Ariz./Dear Valley) with an effort of 11:50.51 in the 1,000-freestyle.
