NAPPANEE – It was a matter of quantity which equated to a pair of wins for the NorthWood swim teams Monday night in a dual with Tippecanoe Valley. Depth on both sides from the hosts made up what Valley fired out from its aces in a well-matched pair of duals.

The Lady Panthers and the Lady Vikings split six wins apiece, but five runner-ups and a host of third places gave NorthWood enough for the team win.
