Augustana won eight of the 11 events on its way to a 137-68 victory over Monmouth on Friday, November 18 at the Fighting Scots Pool in Monmouth, Illinois. Head coach Dan Lloyd spread things around pretty well as no swimmer was an individual double winner in the meet which allowed the Vikings to up their record to 3-0 on the season.

Disteldorf won the 100 breaststroke in 1:00.16 and was second in the 50 freestyle (:22.73). Wilson won the 100 butterfly in :58.16.
 
Ekberg picked up a win in the 100 backstroke (:52.85) later on in the meet as he led a one-two-three Augustana sweep of the event. Freshman Greg Roskowic (Rockford East HS, Rockford, Ill.) was second (:56.87) and freshman Connor Bullard (Rockford Auburn HS, Rockford, Ill.) took third (:58.17). Bullard also had a second place finish in the 200 freestyle (1:52.88).
 
Ekberg also helped the Vikings finished strongly with a win in the final event of the night, the 200 freestyle relay, with a time of 1:30.12. He was joined by sophomore Bryan Haage (Huntley HS, Huntley, Ill.), freshman Nate Prescher (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Iowa) and Herron.
