The University of Connecticut swimming and diving team won the Terrapin Cup at the University of Maryland. The event took place over the course of three days. The Huskies led at the end of the first two days heading into the final day of competition on Saturday. Nine teams competed in the men's division, seven in the women's.

The men scored a total of 955 points in three days, while the women tallied 700. Lisa Shelps (Quakertown, Pa.) continued her assault on the UConn record books with her fourth school record of the meet. She swam the 100 freestyle in 51.06.

Men's team scores were: Connecticut 955, West Chester 800, Maryland 697, William & Mary 533, Drexel 397, Villanova 227, Mary Washington 195.  For the women it was the Huskies 700, Maryland 609, W&M 585, Richmond 514.5, Villanova 462, Navy 320, West Chester 315, Drexel 237.5 and Mary Washington 110.

"We swam very fast tonight," said Maryland Interim Head Coach Jarod Schroeder. "Eric (Cullen) swam one of his best times tonight, while Chris (Rouchard) swam his best time in the mile. It was very exciting to come back at night and swim with that intensity."
