Freshman Bradin Norris also had an impressive showing, as he earned a pair of victories in the 200 fly (2:13.90) and the 200 back (2:17.43).
 
The meet would end up coming down to the 200 free relay, where the Eagles pulled out a victory by .12 seconds to secure the two-point win. The team of Bias, senior Jaden Tipton, junior Andrew Wetherhold, and sophomore Tory Reynolds finished with a time of 1:39.01, as UMW put up a 1:38.89.
