USC Women, Men Sweep Wisconsin
January 15, 2018 | Women's Swimming & Diving
Hansson, Vissering, Valente, Glinta all win twice in victories over Badgers
Sophomore Louise Hansson won twice while junior Carsten Vissering, in his first action as a Trojan since returning from a semester studying abroad, highlighted three Trojan men with two wins apiece to lead USC's No. 7 USC men and No. 9 women to a pair of victories over visiting Wisconsin on Monday (Jan. 15) at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
The men's squad improved to 6-0 overall with a 148-109 victory over the Badgers while the women moved to 7-0 after their 133-129 victory. The Trojan men are now 6-1 against the Big Ten foe since the schools started the annual January dual seven years ago while USC's women are 7-0.
The biggest news for the Trojans was the return of Vissering, the 2017 Pac-12 champion, school record holder and All-American in the 100y breast who spent the fall semester studying in Brisbane, Australia. He made his return by winning the 100y breast in an NCAA B cut of 53.27 and capturing the 200y breast in 2:01.90. He also helped USC to a win in the 200y medley relay to open the meet.
Hansson raced to first in the 100y free in 49.29 and, with the meet on the line, powered home in the 200y IM to touch first in 1:58.17, just 0.17 ahead of Badger Beata Nelson. Hansson also was part of USC's win in the 200y medley relay.
Junior Alex Valente won both fly events thanks to a 1:48.50 in the 200, 0.51 ahead of sophomore teammate Mark Jurek, and a 47.76 in the 100y fly, 0.60 ahead of senior teammate Santo Condorelli.
Freshman Robert Glinta won the 100y back in 47.64, 0.12 ahead of senior teammate Dylan Carter and 0.68 better than junior Patrick Mulcare in the sweep. Glinta got the better of Mulcare again, winning the 200y back in 1:46.15. Mulcare, the school record holder in the race, glided to second in 1:46.87.
Freshman Jake Sannem was USC's first individual winner on the day, taking the 200y free in 1:38.23, while junior Riley Scott won the women's squad's first individual race with a 1:02.89 in the 100y breast.
Junior Maddie Wright won her specialty, the 200y fly, in 1:57.38 ahead of Valente's win and was followed by a pair of wins in the 50y free thanks to freshman Marta Ciesla (23.20) and Condorelli (19.85). Carter won the 100y free after the break in 44.63 while freshman Maggie Aroesty took the 200y breast in 2:15.64.
The USC women return to action by hosting California on Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. and against Stanford at noon on Jan. 27. The men host the Bears on Feb. 2 at 2 p.m. and the Cardinal on Feb. 3 at 12 p.m.
