"This is truly an opportunity to really find out about ourselves and see what we're made of," head coach Jay Holmes said. "This is just what we expected, we're facing two really good schools where the competition is high. We needed today to see where we really were, we had some really close races, and we're down by 22 points to end the day and we find a way come out with a fire to get those points back tomorrow"
Benjamin Walker (1:48.24) earned his first individual win of the season in the 200 yard IM while freshman Shane Casas came in third (1:50.34). Casas came away with his first career win in the 200 yard backstroke (1:47.36).
