INDIANOLA, Iowa - The Simpson men's swimming team came up just short in the final home dual of the season on Friday night, losing to Iowa Lakes 69-61 at Cowles Center.
Stephen Schmidt and Nathan Schneider won two events apiece for the Storm (2-4), who won six of 11 events on the night.
"With just four guys its hard to win a meet, but we hung close today," head coach Aaron Strain said. "Those guys are tough - we'll get back in the pool and continue to work hard."

The Storm will take part in the Grinnell Invitational on Jan. 20-21.
