Taylor Buhr, Cassie Ketterling, Camilla Brogger-Andersen and Stella Fairbanks along with Jack Berdahl, all won two individual events apiece in the dual.
 
Buhr, a freshman, won the 100 breast in 1:07.57 and the 200 breast in 2:24.94 while Brogger-Andersen, also a freshman, touched the wall first in the 1,000 free (10:41.46) and 500 free (5:13.69).

Emily Kahn, a sophomore, won the 100 free in 52.29 and the Coyotes won both relays contested during the meet, the 200 medley and 400 free. The quartet of Grace Schultz, Buhr, Ketterling and Kahn clocked 1:48.20 in the 200 medley relay. The foursome of Kahn, Skyler Leverenz, Brogger-Andersen and Christina Spomer won the 400 free relay in 3:24.27.
