The women swam against the Cougars and the Camels falling to each by scores of 135-127 and 152-110, respectively. The women were able to set nine new records despite the losses.

“I'm very proud of the way that our women battled today,” said Coach Jeff Dugdale after the meet. “Our men continue to show improvement, but we still have a ways to go. We have to swim faster when tired.”
