The Saxons (3-2, 1-0 Empire 8) was beat by UofR 166.50-128.50 but took advantage over Fredonia in dominant fashion, 221-50.

AU opened the meet with a win in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:36.82, behind the A-Team of Rihards Kagis (Kekava, Latvia/British School Muscat), Mahmoud Elkady (Cairo, Egypt/Smart City), Carlos Gonzalez (Baja Califronia, Mexico/Unifront), and Calem Striker (Hornell, NY/Hornell). 

Kagis would record another win, but it would be a joint win with Sebastian Gans of the Yellowjackets, with both of them tying in the 100-back at 53.77. However, he would get his own individual win in the 200-back with a 1:57.69. Gonzalez snatched the win in the 200-yard IM at 1:57.86.

For the second week in a row, Jaxson McQuaid (Norwalk, CT/Norwalk) swept both of the diving events. He scored 240.45 in the 3-meter event and a 238.40 in the 1-meter dive. Those points helped claim the win over the Blue Devils, and edge a bit closer to the Yellowjackets in the end.
