Relays prove to be a key in swimming and diving given their point value in the overall team score.

Hiram's Becca Wright and Megan McBratnie pulled the Terriers within six points at the conclusion of the 100 butterfly but John Carroll responded by finishing one-two in each of the next two races.

Sheffield took the 100 freestyle clocking in at 1:03.18 just ahead of Libertin, the reining OAC Women's Swimming and Diving Athlete of the Week. The 100 backstroke featured a lighting fast finish with Fano out-touching Zagrobelny by 22 hundredths of a second.
