Chicago, Ill. - The UIC swimming and diving team put on an impressive display at the UIC Natatorium for the first time this season, winning the home opener against Eastern Illinois on Saturday afternoon.

The men's squad did not lose a single event, defeating EIU 165-64. The women's team lost in only one event, and outpaced the Panthers 162-74.

The Flames had great performances from start to finish, starting with a pair of victories in the 200 medley relays, right through to the final event, where the men's team won the 200 free relay.
