Bowie topped the 500-free and 1,000-free, Boatwright touched first in the 200-free (2:08.78) and 100-IM (1:07.17), and Lancisi claimed the 50-fly (29.50) along with the 100-fly (1:05.25).

Mikayla Sargent notched a pair of victories for the Nor'easters, taking the 50-breast (33.80) and 100-breast (1:15.44) ahead of Regis' Julia Burke both times. She was also second to Boatwright in the 100-IM. Haley Griffin secured the other solo first-place for the hosts in the 100-free (57.46), finishing in front of Boatwright.
