In the Pirates' first victory of the season, a few Pirates collected a pair of individual wins. The first swimmer to achieve that feat against the Hawks was sophomore Zeynep Aysoy. Aysoy cruised to victory in the 1000 freestyle and 500 freestyle with times of 10:32.98 and 5:13.08, respectively.

The second Pirate to collect their pair of victories was freshman Skylar Hay.

The Australian added her second victory of the day in the 100 freestyle with a time of 54.01.

Once again, junior Naima Hazell continued to build upon her legacy as one of the best sprinters in Pirates history. Hazell secured her second victory of the season in the 50 freestyle with a time of 24.13.

Rounding out The Hall's slate of victories are Shun Qi Lim and Bianka Bukovics. Lim rebounded this week, winning the 100 butterfly by over a second with a time of 58.20.
