On the women\u2019s side, Bryant University secured the title with a margin of more than 100 points over second-place New Hampshire, followed by Vermont in third.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the men\u2019s meet, UMBC claimed the championship with 805.5 points. Binghamton finished second, while Bryant remained in contention throughout the four-day competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The meet featured an early lead from Bryant on the women\u2019s side after it took a win and an America East record, VMI Aquatic Center pool record, and program record in the 200 medley relay with a 1:39.62 mark. That performance was produced by the team of <strong>Clara Steen<\/strong>, <strong>Jocie Niemczyk<\/strong>, <strong>Ruby Tonelli<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Marcella Figueroa<\/strong>. Although it put up a fight, Bryant took second in the women&#8217;s 800 free relay in 7:20.92, with New Hampshire grabbing first in 7:20.52 behind <strong>Lydia Hart<\/strong>, <strong>Teagen<\/strong> <strong>Jeffers<\/strong>, <strong>Emily Wright<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Sydney Leblic Garcia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UMBC men foreshadowed their overall success with a win in the 200 medley relay in 1:26.85, with a foursome of <strong>Quinn<\/strong> <strong>Marchionini<\/strong>, <strong>Sean Neils<\/strong>, <strong>Stefano Perez<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Axel Mori<\/strong>.

Bryant responded in the 200 IM, placing four swimmers in the A-final, where Tonelli secured victory in 2:02.02. In the women\u2019s 50 free, UMBC\u2019s <strong>Ashley Gutshall<\/strong> took first in 22.25. Vermont showed strong depth with <strong>Havana Layton<\/strong>, <strong>Anastazja Szukal<\/strong>, and <strong>Ellie Fazio<\/strong> all finishing in the top eight. That trio, alongside senior <strong>Natalie Schick<\/strong>, went on to win the 200 free relay in 1:32.32, just missing their conference record from last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Binghamton\u2019s <strong>Cam Stetzer<\/strong> claimed the men\u2019s 200 IM title in 1:47.46. UMBC dominated the men\u2019s 50 free, sweeping the top four spots as Perez and Weise tied for first in 19.87, followed by Neils (20.01) and Mori (20.03). The quartet later teamed up to capture the 200 free relay in 1:18.65, winning by nearly two seconds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bryant\u2019s women continued their strong meet on Friday night, highlighted by Tonelli breaking her own America East record in the 100 fly with a 53.10. UMBC\u2019s <strong>Alice Marini<\/strong> captured the 400 IM (4:20.99), while New Hampshire\u2019s Hart defended her 200 free title in 1:47.80. Bryant added another win through Niemczyk in the 100 breast (1:01.58), and Vermont\u2019s Schick claimed the 100 back (54.86). Bryant capped the session with a victory in the 400 medley relay (3:41.34).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UMBC\u2019s men maintained their lead, though Binghamton stayed close behind.
