On the Men's side junior Ben Byers (Seattle Washington) came up with an individual win in the 1650 with a NCAA B cut of 16:07.00, senior co-captain Rob Mitchell (Darien, CT) also scored for the Cardinals in the mile finishing 4th. Senior co-captain Dan Devine  finished a strong second in the 100 breast with a season best time. In the most exciting race of the evening, Byers and Williams swimmer Steve Spinelli had quite the duel in the 500 free.
