The 100-yard freestyle saw Pacific finish first and second, as Lloyd won the event and James Michael Sherman (Fr., Portland, Ore.) touched the wall in second place.
In a display of Pacific's freestyle strength, Morse out touched Lewis & Clark's Trevor Schapiro in the 500-yard freestyle, before Sakai wrapped up individual competition for the Boxers with a win in the 100-yard breaststroke.
