Fordham (3-2 women, 2-3 men) won seven events in the women's competition and five on the men's side.
Brienne Ryan led the way for Fordham, winning two individual events, as well as being a part of two winning relays.

Lulley won the 100-yard butterfly in a season-best time of 58.28 seconds, while Marshall took home the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:26.26. Lyver rounded out the women's winners, as she touched out BU's Courney Grace by .01 seconds to win the 50-yard freestyle in 25.01 seconds.
