Connolly opened the meet by teaming with sophomore Kristen Reinckens (Hudson, N.Y./Hudson HS), freshman Anne Kaduboski (Dedham/Dedham HS) and junior Kaitlin Chepeleff (Vernon, Conn./Rockville HS) for a winning time of 1:56.59 in the 200 medley.

Connolly swept the three shortest freestyle events, with times of 25.91 in the 50, 56.37 in the 100 and 2:00.96 in the 200.

Chepeleff and Kaduboski each won two events. Chepeleff touched first in the 100 breaststroke (1:12.09) and the 200 breast (2:33.95) while Kaduboski was victorious in the 200 butterfly (2:15.16) and the 100 fly (1:01.54).

Bryant, off to a 4-0 start, set five school records in the first dual meet between the two institutions and was led by freshman Amy Howell (Clifton Park, N.Y.). She swam to two wins, the 1,000 free (11:04.63) and the 500 free (5:25.88), and set school records in the 1000 and the 200 fly (2:18.25).
