Kiehlmier swam a 2:22.68 in the 200 breast to win the event, a time that narrowly missed the top-10 in the conference, and her best time on the season by nearly three seconds. Trau finished in second with a 2:25.00, her second fastest time this season.

The night belonged to the relay teams, as the foursome of Kendall Smith, Kiehlmier, Victoria Niemeyer and Kerry Whitson won the opening event of the night, taking the 400 medley relay in a time of 3:35.55, the fifth best time in the conference and the top time in the event this season for NC State, nearly four second faster than the previous time.

Molly Culberson won both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving for the fourth time this season and her eight first place finishes are tied with Barwegen for first on the team.
