Pribadi swept both breaststroke events and finished off the nonconference victory in Piscataway by capturing the 200 individual medley. She went 1:02.12 in the 100 breast to edge teammate Tina Celik by .22 seconds.

Pribadi’s time of 2:14.12 in the 200 breast placed her fifth in Scarlet Knights program history. Her 2:01.88 in the IM is seventh all-time for Rutgers.
