Some more of the usual suspects got back in the pool, and the prodict envisioned at the beginning of the season is starting to take shape.
Despite a 144.5-117.5 loss to Division II Ashland on the road today, many more positives came out of today's swim than did against case Western reserve two weeks ago.

The Medley Relay won for the second consecutive meet as the quartet of
Jack Garrow,
Mason Beck,
Jackson Cooper and
Tom Pacak won by more than a full second (1:37.37) to open the meet.
Pacak then came back and won the 200 Free by over five seconds (1:47.43).
Ashland began piling up points in the 100 Back, 100 Breast and 200 Fly where they were able to outflank the Blue Streaks with solid numbers.
It was not until Matthew Ramsey won the 50 Free (21.70) that JCU got back in the win column.
Pacak won for a second time in the 100 Free (48.68), but by the time Cooper took a first place in the 100 Fly (52.97), the host Eagles had built an insurmountable lead.
For good measure, the Blue Streaks posted a solid win in the final relay, the 200 Free, as Garrow, Cooper,
Brian Hulseman and Pacak powered their way to a time of 1:28.54.
John Carroll will look for its first win of the 2017-18 campaign on Saturday, November 4, when it hosts Mount Union at 1:00 p.m.
