CHICAGO - Josh Baseheart captured three wins in leading the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's swimming and diving team to a pair of dual-meet wins Saturday afternoon in Chicago. The Panthers defeated the host Flames from UIC 182-105, and downed Evansville by a 168-110 count. With the pair of wins, the Panthers move to 3-2 on the season in dual meets.

Baseheart collected wins in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle events Saturday, claiming his third league-leading time in the process. In the 50, Baseheart finished in 22.17 and posted a time of 46.20 in the 100, bettering his league-leading mark of 46.23, set last Friday against Wheaton. He added the finishing touch in the 200, where, in his first race at that distance this season, he won in 1:42.80, nearly three seconds ahead of Evansville's Mike Tomes in second place. That time also puts him on top of the Horizon League by nearly two seconds.

Michael Belting also grabbed a pair of victories on the day, winning the 500 and 1000 freestyle. Belting won the 500 in 4:46.62, which increased his league-leading mark in the event, and finished the 1000 in 9:50.74, cutting nearly seven seconds off his league-best mark.
