EMU moves to 4-0 this season, marking just the seventh time in school history the Eagles have started a season without a dual loss through four meets.
Eastern was led by multiple-event victories by seniors Nicole Swartz (Dayton, Ohio-Centerville) and Delaney Duncan (Galesburg, Ill.-Galesburg), and junior Casey Gavigan (East Setauket, N.Y.-Ward Melville). Gavigan once again swept the Backstroke events, earning her season best times in the 100 and 200 with finishes of 55.12 and 2:00.2, respectively.

The Dayton, Ohio native finished the 200 Free in just 1:54.12, her fastest finish of 2018 and more than a second ahead of her competitors. She also earned her season-best finish in the 500 Free, touching in more than seven seconds before any other swimmer, with a time of 4:57.40. Her 1000 Free finish also bested the field of competition by more than three seconds, coming in at 10:31.61. Duncan earned her event titles besting the 100 and 200 Breaststroke field, earning the top times of 1:01.92 and 2:17.21, respectively.
On the springboard, junior Sophia Tsafantakis (Washington, Mich.-Romeo) earned the lone diving title for the Eagles, earning her season-best score of 277.57 on the 1-meter.
In total, the day saw 17 Eagles record season-best times as the Green and White earned eight event wins.
