LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Bellarmine University swim teams return to the pool this Saturday, November 1, hosting the first meet at Mary T. Meagher Aquatic Center this season as the Knights welcome University of Southern Indiana and Butler for the John Brucato Memorial/ALS Awareness Meet.

The Knights men's team will take on USI while the women will take on USI and Butler as the Bulldogs do not have a men's team.

Bellarmine will honor the life and impact of John Brucato, former head coach, founder of the BU swim program and BU Athletics Hall of Fame member, at the meet as well as raise awareness for ALS, a disease Brucato fought valiantly for years.

The Knights are also hosting a canned food drive at Saturday's meet and invite anyone who is able to please bring donations to the event.

In their last time out, the Knights competed in the IU Indy Double Dual, taking on Xavier, St. Louis, IU Indy, Bowling Green and Butler.

Freshman Ahmet Efe Inceoglu led the way for Bellarmine, collecting two golds in the 50 and 100 freestyle in his first collegiate event. Junior Evan Dickson registered a second-place finish in the 200 freestyle with freshman Yael Bojalil and junior Colin Jackson taking bronze in the 200 freestyle and 50 backstroke, respectively.

Senior Erin Dall'Agnol, junior Lily Wolfe and sophomore Lily Epley all tied for a team-best seventh-place finish. Dall'Agnol collected to hers in the 100 breaststroke with Wolfe doing so in the 1000 freestyle and Epley in the 50 freestyle.
