On Saturday afternoon, both the swimming and diving teams lost to the University of Alabama.
The meet was held at the Don Gambril Olympic Pool in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Winners for the men's team included sophomore Jared Scheuer, who won the 200-yard backstroke timed at 1:54.39.
Junior Hayden Baker and senior Jake Stephens earned second place with a time of 3:20.44.
For the women's team, in the 100-yard freestyle, junior Nancy Larson won first place, with a time of 52.97 seconds.
In the 100-yard breaststroke, freshman Annelise Kowalsky obtained first place with a 'B' cut time of 1:04.29, while junior McKenna Newsum-Schoenberg won the 1000-yard freestyle with a time of 10:21.36.
Sophomore Ellie Thompson earned a second and third place victory with her 100-yard backstroke (57.37 seconds) and 200-yard backstroke (2:05.52), respectively.
"Alabama was challenging because we had just had our Senior Meet the previous weekend, with lots of parents, alumni and others there to support, which really fostered a team support atmosphere," she said. The Eagles didn't receive the same support against the Division I powerhouse Crimson Tide.
"Conference [championships are] held at Emory University this year, and everyone has been doing really well in practices and have had solid times for dual meets," she added.
Thompson also remarked on freshman Annelise Kowalsky's outstanding performance at this Saturday's meet.
"Kowalsky has been swimming really well in all of our meets this year [...] she had a really fast split in the relay as well, and I have no doubt that she is going to kill it at Conference and Nationals," she said.
After the meet, the men's team fell to 2-5 on the season while the women's team now stands at 3-4.
