Freshman Danielle Caruso and sophomore Elizabeth Heinbach finished first and second in the 1,000-yard freestyle (10:46.30, 10:52.93), and the Ducks were off and running as Caruso and classmate Claire Hendershot went first and third in the 200-yard freestyle to make it three wins in three events.

Had Stevens not swam the final two events in exhibition, Geyer would have earned her third win with a 2:15.08 in the 200-IM, and Miller, Rutledge, Lawson and Caruso would have done the same in the 400-free relay.
