The Hall would have another four Pirates qualify for finals in the 100 Fly: Sarah Frie (Waterford, Va.), Sierra Cripps (Seymour, Conn.), Josie McCartney (Verona, Wisc.) and Amelia Wootton (Bethel, Conn.).

Cripps would take fifth for the Pirates swimming a finals time of 55.76.
Seton Hall would have two freshmen, Natalie Heim and Amanda Zajdzinski qualify for finals in the 200 Free with Heim taking first in the consolation finals with a new personal-best time of 1:50.73, good enough for a top-10 score in program history.
The Hall would as two more top-10 swims in program history with Meredith Mutter (Pottstown, Penn.) (1:05.66) and Nicole Bastian (1:06.34) in the 100 Breaststroke. Bastian's time would also qualify as a lifetime best.
