The women's team (4-7, 1-5 Ivy) won five individual swimming events, and the men (2-10, 0-6 EISA) were victorious in four. Big Green relay wins included the women's 200-yard medley and the men's 800-yard freestyle.
Maddie Steiner '11 and Mickey Ahern '12 both agreed that Boston College was the Big Green's biggest competition going into the meet.
"We knew that if we had a good meet we could probably get them, and we did," Steiner said of the women's team.
The women's team started off the meet with a win, narrowly edging out two Boston College teams in the 200-yard medley relay. Galen Barry '12, Caitlin Keenan '12, Kelsey Pinson '12 and Caitlin Nicholson '12 finished with a time of 1:51.85. Pinson, Steiner, Elizabeth Kamai '12 and Hillary Preston '09 also finished first in the 400-yard freestyle relay with a time of 3:32.77.
Steiner also won the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:08.76 and the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:30.06. Steiner said she was most excited about her performance in the 200-yard IM, because she notched a lifetime best.
Other Big Green individual wins included Nicholson taking the 100-yard butterfly in 59.61, Anna Sonstegard '11 with a first-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly and Carolyn Rippe '10 with a victory in the 200-yard backstroke.
The men's team came in first in the 800-yard freestyle relay, defeating second-place Boston College in the race by more than a five-second margin. John Hill '12, Jack Driessen '12, Zak Clare-Salzler '12 and Bill Haley '11 came out on top in 7:00.12.
Ahern, Hill and Jonathan Panzl '11 all secured individual wins for the Big Green. Ahern won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 53.74 and the 200-yard backstroke in 1:55.38. Panzl won the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 1:55.38 and Hill won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 48.07.
Both diving teams took first in each event, and the women swept the three-meter dive. Erica Serpico '12 took home first place for both women's diving events, winning the one-meter with a score of 232.90 and the three-meter with a score of 248. Serpico beat Boston College sophomore Devon Kelly by 11.35 points in the one-meter dive. Kathleen Brady '10 trailed Kelly by just .95 points, claiming third place in the event.
Brady also finished second in the three-meter dive, and Bridget Duffey '11 finished third, giving the Big Green the one-two-three sweep for the event.
Chris Plante '12 won the men's one-meter dive with a score of 280.65, and Mike Brown '11 won the three-meter event with a score of 302.40. Plante and Brown also had second-place finishes in the three-meter and one-meter events, respectively.
Ahern said he was happy with the results of the meet, but excited to get back in the pool.
"We had a couple big wins and a couple really tough losses, but all together everyone swam really well," he said. "I think it brought us closer as a team."
Steiner said she hopes to see more teammates supporting each other during meets.
"I think we learned this weekend that we could probably do a better job cheering each other on," she said.
The women's team will take on Northeastern University at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday at home in the Karl Michael Pool. Both teams then return to the pool for a Valentine's Day home matchup against Columbia at 12:00 p.m. on Feb. 14.
