Geneva, OH -- With just one day remaining at the 2022 NEC Swimming & Diving Championship, we could be headed for the proverbial photo finish.

Looking to unseat four-time defending champion Bryant, CCSU held on to its slim lead on Friday, but not by much. The Blue Devils ended the evening at Spire Institute in Geneva, OH with 521 points, just 23 ahead of the 498 compiled by the Bulldogs. LIU moved up two spots in the standings into third (327.5), followed by Wagner (303) and Sacred Heart (257.5).

The night opened with the 200 yard butterfly as Ella Johnson from LIU grabbed gold with a time of 2:01.21. In a tight race for second, Samantha Grenon from Bryant touched in at 2:03.56 and bronze was awarded to Jess Rupp from Saint Francis U, who finished in 2:03.65.

In the 100 yard backstroke, two individuals finished with NCAA B-Cut times as Reagan Lord from Bryant earned gold (53.31) and Jeannette King from CCSU claimed silver (53.88). Jacqueline Grabowski from LIU took the third spot on the podium, earning her team 16 points.

Ellie Eastwood from Wagner collected 20 points and a gold medal for touching in at 1:02.00 in the 100 yard breaststroke. Silver medalist Cassidy Stotler from CCSU navigated the course in 1:02.45 and Venna Anderson from LIU followed Cassidy to finish third with a finals time of 1:03.81.

The night concluded with CCSU's Jeannette King (55.18), Cassidy Stotler (1:02.54), Ashley Calderon (55.84) and Katie Czulewicz (51.11) touching in 3:44.67 to take gold in the 400 yard medley relay and add 40 points to the Blue Devils team score. LIU's Jacqueline Grabowski (55.29), Venna Anderson (1:03.51), Allie Bashor (55.10) and Ella Johnson (51.13) finished in 3:45.03 to earn silver. Bronze was awarded to Wagner as Shamiya Guirre (56.88), Ellie Eastwood (1:01.47), Annabella Jencova (56.23), and Abbie Hassell (51.48) completed their relay in 3:46.06.
