Other first-place finishes for UMass included Meriza Werenski in the 400 IM, Hayley Masi in the 100 free, and Rachel Grant in the 100 fly.
 
Overall, the Minutewomen took the top-three scoring spots in the 400 IM, the one-meter dive, and the 3-meter dive.
 
UMass jumped out to a 94-37 lead after the first seven events of the day. Heading into the three-meter dive and the final two swim events of the day, the Minutewomen expanded their lead to 160-85.
