Jared Schwab then took the victory in the men's 50-freestyle, timing in at 22.13.

Schwab stayed strong and captured the win in the men's 100-freestyle with a time of 49.83, the only swimmer in the event to break 50 seconds.

The Panthers women then grabbed all the points in the 200-backstroke. Broad finished first at 2:36.10, with Britney Ciorra second at 2:49.63 and Danica Andrews third with a time of 3:17.92.
