NEWARK, Del. -- Senior Morgan Whyte captured both the 50 and 100 freestyle events to lead a University of Delaware sweep on the women's side and junior Alex Hillsley and sophomore Patrick Savidge each won two events in a narrow Blue Hen setback to Drexel on the men's side to highlight a Colonial Athletic Association tri-meet Saturday afternoon at Rawstrom Natatorium as part of Alumni Day.
Whyte won the 50 freestyle in a time of 23.44 and captured the 100 freestyle in 51.98 to lead the Delaware women to victories over Drexel (232-68) and Northeastern (196-104) and improve to 9-1 (4-1 CAA) on the season. Delaware swept the pair for the fourth straight year.
On the men's side, the Blue Hens (3-4, 1-2 CAA) dropped a tough 166-134 decision to Drexel despite wins by Hillsley in the 200 backstroke (1:50.96) and 200 individual medley (1:53.40) and by Savidge in the 200 freestyle (1:42.50) and 200 breaststroke (2:07.13). Drexel narrowly downed the Hens in several races throughout the day.
Both Delaware teams saw action in their first dual meet competition since a Nov. 7 tri-meet at LaSalle that also included Rider. Nearly 50 former UD men and women swimmers and divers were on hand to be recognized as part of Alumni Day Saturday.

Montoya was also second in the 200 freestyle (1:53.59) and 100 freestyle (52.69), Congdon was second in the 1-meter dive (277.85 points), Sanders was second in the 200 backstroke (2:04.91), Nunes was second in the 200 breaststroke (2:22.72), and Stockwell was second in 3-meter diving (278.20 points).
Also hitting the wall first for the Blue Hen men were Cory Camp in the 1,000 freestyle (9:40.30), and Asher Kiely in the 100 backstroke (50.91). Kiely was also second in the 200 backstroke (1:52.46) and Camp was second in the 500 freestyle (4:41.22).
The Drexel men improved to 4-3 (1-1 CAA) with the dual win while the Drexel women moved to 5-4 (1-3 CAA) with the loss to Delaware and win over Northeastern and Northeastern fell to 4-4 (1-3 CAA) with the two losses.
