Complete Results
The Lady Yotes earned a 146-114 victory over Willamette, while losing a 158-102 decision to host Pacific. The meet was billed as the Northwest Invitational, but with the lack of teams and entries, the three schools converted the meet into a triangular dual.
Stevens claimed a win in the 100-backstroke (1:03.68), improving her NAIA "B" standard in the event, while notching an NAIA "A" mark with her win in the 200-backstroke (2:15.54).
Alexis Medelez set a school record with her win in the 200-butterfly (2:19.81), hitting the NAIA "A" standard, with Kirby Roberts hitting the "A" cut with a win in the 100-freestyle (56.12). Medelez also set a school record in the 100-fly (1:02.23), establishing an NAIA "B" standard.
Both C of I relay teams placed second – but swam their fastest times of 2013, as the 200-medley relay recorded a time of 1:55.50, with the 200-free relay narrowly falling to Willamette with a time of 1:43.86.
C of I will return to the pool in early December at the Husky Invitational in Federal Way, Wash.
