Norse women’s swimming falls to Indiana State, men compete independently

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Northern Kentucky University Norse Swimming took on Indiana State on Halloween, competing in their second meet of the 2026-27 campaign. Northern Kentucky's men's squad competed independently, as Indiana State does not have a varsity men's program. The Norse women fell by a final score of 197-61, as Macy Ganshert led the Norse with a pair of event victories.
