Sophomore Erica Vitale broke a school record as the women split a three-way meet with losses against Siena and Bryant and a 168-46 win over NJIT. The women moved to 2-9 on the season with the split. On the men's side, a total team effort brought the men to a double-win, finishing 133-87 over Bryant and 168-46 against NJIT and moved the Griffs to a 4-4 record on the season.

Vitale turned in a time of 10:50.35 in the 1000-yard freestyle to break a five-year-old record set in 2005 by over two seconds.

For the men, strong swims by freshman Robbie Novak in the 1,000-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle events set the stage for a winning meet as he took first place in the 1,000 with his time of 10:23.73 and finished the 500 in 4:59.60 for second place. Fellow freshmen Matt Moessinger, Mike Disco and Tyler Carver also turned in winning performances as Moessinger raced to first place in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:04.02 and Carver and Disco turned in back-to-back finishes to take first and second place in the 100 breaststroke with times of 1:02.11 and 1:03.31, respectively.
