The Northern Michigan University women's swim and dive team opened their season with a strong performance at home, taking first place in every event during the meet held at the PEIF Pool in Marquette. Competing against St. Cloud State, Davenport, and Lake Superior State, NMU secured 27 out of 39 possible podium finishes and led the team standings with 830 points. St. Cloud State followed with 648 points, Davenport had 460, and Lake Superior State finished with 37.
Evie DeCarlo led NMU by winning four events: she took first in the 100 breaststroke individually, swam breaststroke for both the winning 200 and 400 medley relay teams, and was part of the first-place 200 free relay team.
