In the 100-yard butterfly, senior and event record-holder Anne Fraser barely defeated Nadeau, clocking in at 57.75. Nadeau took second, only two hundredths of a second later.

Led by sophomore Emily Stapleton, who took first in a time of 2:05.35, the Crimson dominated the 200-yard backstroke, taking four of the top five positions.

“[Stapleton] was angry that Brown was chanting 1-2-3 after the 100- back,” O’Beirne said. “And I think she used that as motivation in her 200 backstroke and she completely dominated that event.”

Senior Vicki Chang captured first in the 200-yard freestyle in a time of 1:54.43 two slots ahead of junior Ellie Humphries who finished in 1:54.93, just three hundredths of a second behind the runner-up.

The Crimson returns to the water against both Pennsylvania and Columbia in a tri-meet on Dec. 7 in Philadelphia.
