Another busy Saturday in Fordham sports action included a home swim meet at the Messmore Aquatic Center, where the Fordham swimming & diving teams split their dual meet with the University of Massachusetts. In addition to the split, Fordham had one school record broken in the women's 1000 yard freestyle event.
In the women's competition, Fordham posted a 183-111 win over the Minutewomen, while Massachusetts won the men's competition, 171-127.
The highlight of the afternoon came early in the women's 1000 freestyle event, as Fordham senior Megan McGorry broke her own school record in the event, winning in a time of 10:13.17. The time bested her mark of 10:13.42 from last year's Atlantic 10 Championship. McGorry added another event win in the 500 freestyle, posting a season-best time of 5:02.99, while also adding a fourth-place finish in the 100 breaststroke, recording Fordham's best time of the season in 1:10.54.

She also helped the 200 medley relay team to win, joining Brienne Ryan, Kelly Bunster and Kellie Lyver to post a time of 1:46.35.

Ryan won the 100 backstroke (55.03) and the 100 freestyle (52.12) with Bunster capturing the 100 butterfly (58.14) and Lyver winning the 50 freestyle (24.79). All three then joined Alexandra Wessel to win the 200 freestyle relay in 1:38.30.
