The women's 200-yard medley relay team comprised of Adrianna Navarrete, Nadia Alie, Basilisa Alonso and Tanaka Nyemba also beat its Queens College counterpart to the finish.

Navarrete nearly took the 50-yard freestyle, losing by an eyelash to Queens' Briana Meeham by two-hundredths of a second (28.74 to 28.76).

Lehman's divers continued to rack up the points with Mailys Besnard and Joaquin Cruz grabbing the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions.
