PORTLAND, Ore. - Carson Braddock and Seth Koivisto each won a pair of events as the Pacific Lutheran University men's swimming team tied Northwest Conference rival Lewis & Clark College 91-91 in Saturday's dual meet at the Zehntbauer Swimming Pavilion.

"The men's meet was as close as any event could be and we swam tough. I think it's the first tie I've ever experienced as a coach," said Head Coach Matt Sellman. 

"We went in short-handed and swam to win and just came up a bit short. The guys really impressed me all day with their fight and they never backed down."

Braddock, Devin Stanley, Christiaan Chandler, and Charlie Cutter won the 200-yard medley relay to open the dual, clocking a time of one minute, 43.14 seconds, and enjoying a six-second advantage on runner-up Lewis & Clark.

Braddock collected his second event win in the next event, securing the victory in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:48.54. 

Koivisto topped the field in the 200-yard individual medley, finishing in 2:02.74 before taking the 100-yard breaststroke in 59.52 with Chandler taking second billing in 1:05.87.

Cutter was second in the 50-yard freestyle (22.40), while the Lutes also received runner-up performances from Koivisto in the 100-yard butterfly (56.21), Braddock in the 100-yard freestyle (49.89), Stanley in the 100-yard backstroke (57.37), Luke Farag in the 500-yard freestyle (5:23.94), and Farag, Jake Olson, Nicolas Celebrado, and Henri Coronado-Volta in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:44.68).
