Somerville also posted a second-place finish in the 100 backstroke, finishing less than a second behind race-winner Scotti.

“I think we’re kind of in a transitional period of coming off some pretty hard training,” head coach Maurice Stewart said.

The Bulldogs’ next meet, the Horizon League Championships, will be their last of the season. The four-day event will be held Feb. 22-25 in Brown Deer, Wis.

“We’ll be doing a lot of training physically and mentally preparing for the championships,” Stewart said. “I feel we can have a solid performance.”
