Classmate Jaimie Miller (Houston, Texas) blasted a 23.63 showing in the 50 free for the win, and though Georgetown won the 200 IM up next, the Hoyas were shutout the rest of the way.

Sophomore Rachel Anderson (Clifton, Va.) won the 200 fly in 2:07.58 after the first intermission, and senior Jessie Ustjanauskas (West Hartford, Conn.) won her third of the year in the 100 free, touching the wall in 52.45 seconds.
