A pair of Quakers – Audrey Bibb and Sierra Szuhay – tallied two top-three finishes in dividual events. Bibb took third in both the 100-yard freestyle and 200-yard freestyle with swims of 1:01.50 and 2:11.54 respectively while Szuhay placed second in the 100-yard backstroke (1:07.87) and third in the 200-yard IM (2:31.64)

"Overall, I was pleased with the team's performance as we hadn't competed since mid-November of 2021," Head Coach Trip Breen said. "We have been training well and that showed in some improved performances today."
Wilmington will host John Carroll University for a Senior Day meet on Jan. 29.
