MCMINNVILLE, Ore. - Alex Johannessen won a pair of events but it wasn't enough on Friday night as the Pacific Lutheran University men's swimming team fell short 129-76 to Linfield College in a Northwest Conference swim dual inside the Linfield Aquatic Center. 

"The men had a strong day against a very powerful squad," said Head Coach Matt Sellman. "Linfield is doing a lot of good things now and their team shows that. We competed very well, but came with a short hand. Overall, I'm impressed with how we competed."
