A string of solid freshmen performers secured victory for the Crimson.
Breaststroker Erika DeBenedetto double-dipped, capturing the 100 and 200-yard distances in 1:06.86 and 2:25.30, respectively. DeBenedetto's wins helped patch-up a lagging gap in the Crimson breaststroke line-up.
Freshmen diver Brittany Garza leapt to wins on the 1-meter and 3-meter boards.
Garza took the wins by accumulating 235.65 points on the low board and 245.18 points on the high board.
"This meet went really well for me," Garza said. "Practices this past week went really well for me too. I changed around my list and added some new dives. Things just went so well."
Other freshmen added into Harvard's winning formula.
Olympic trials qualifier Katie Wilbur held off the competition to win the 400-yard individual medley in a time of 4:29.78. Wilbur finished second in the 200-yard backstroke in 2:06.28.
