The non-scored event featured Northeastern, Connecticut, Central Connecticut, Boston College, Bryant, Fairfield, Keene, Providence, and Rhode Island.

The Huskies (9-7, 2-2 CAA) captured 13 top-three finishes, and senior Jenny Doolin set the pace for NU when she opened the meet by winning the 500-yard freestyle in 5:08.53. Northeastern claimed a pair of top-three finishes in the 50 freestyle when Anna Schegoleva took first place at 24.61 while Addison Koelle placed third with a time of 24.88.
