Worcester, Mass. - Coming off its lone home meet of the 2024-25 season, Adelphi University returned to the lanes - this time at the site of the Northeast-10 Conference Championship - at Worcester Polytechnic Institute on Tuesday, taking on Bentley, WPI and Wellesley. 

The men outscored both opponents, but the women were challenged to overcome all three of its challengers. 

Women's Highlights:

• While not their fastest time this season, the 200 medley relay placed third in a time of 1:53.88, as member Emily Munayirji took third in the 100 backstroke (1:00.97).
• Laura Moran finished fourth in the 50 freestyle, just .32 seconds off her personal best from the season (25.45).
• Munayirji clocked in at 2:10.11 in the 200 backstroke - an event that she medaled in at last year's championship - which is just seconds from her personal best this year. 
• Kelly Tula was a top-five finisher in the 100 butterfly as was Aizel Pusing in the 200 IM.
• Adelphi's 200 freestyle A relay took third overall (1:44.06), as the B relay placed sixth (1:52.59).

Men's Highlights:

• Tyler Romero posted a score of 288.07 in the men's 1-meter diving competition, while also topping the field in the 3-meter event with 253.35 points. 
• The men's 200 freestyle A relay bested the field by over four seconds, touching the wall in 1:25.82, which is two seconds from the season high set at ECACs. 
• The team won 11 events (tied for one individual race, plus two diving medals) to outscore WPI 176-122 and Bentley 179-115.
• Adelphi's first individual top swim came from Tristan Weinfarten in the 200 freestyle at 1:45.05, which is four seconds from his personal best.
