Other standout performances from the Hens included a first place finish from Dominique Montoya in the 100 freestyle race, while Annie Nunes recorded a victory in the 200 IM competition.
"Outstanding performances by our women's team. Certainly a total team effort by the swimmers and divers. Our depth proved to be the difference in the meet," said University of Delaware head coach John Hayman.
