FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern cleaned house Monday as Marco Aldabe and Malin Westman captured both Sunshine State Conference Swimmer of the Week honors, announced by the league office this afternoon.
 
Aldabe helped lead the NSU men's swim team to a convincing 161-127 win against Indian River on Friday, marking the second straight win for the Sharks over the Patriots in as many weeks. In the process, Aldabe picked up three individual victories by winning the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:51.54, the men's 400-yard individual medley and the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 51.14. The senior was also a part of the NSU men's A-relay that won the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:31.61.
 
Westman, on the other hand, guided the Sharks to a 1-1 split at the Florida International Tri-Meet last Friday. Although the Sharks lost to NCAA Division I and No. 27 FIU 159-121, they earned a dominating win against Indian River 190-96. Along the way, Westman collected a pair of wins in the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke events, setting provisional qualifying times in both. In the 100, she finished with a qualifying time of 1:04.24 and then followed with a convincing qualifying time in the 200 at 2:17.91, beating the rest of the field by nearly 10 whole seconds. Westman was also a part of the NSU A-relay that finished second in the women's 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:47.46, and finished third in the women's 400-yard individual medley with a time of 4:37.45.
 
The NSU women's team will return to the pool on October 28 against SSC foe Lynn, while the men will dive back into action at Tampa on November 19.
