In total, Lehigh set 13 new pool records at Ruef Natatorium, including 10 on the women's side.
"We saw such great work from everybody tonight," said head coach Rob Herb. "The sprinters were on fire, the relays were incredible setting pool records here tonight in the sprint relays. We expected some fast swims and got them tonight."
Cora Summerfield, Rachel Rider, Kaitlyn Ruffing and Melissa Feeney each tallied two individual wins on the women's side for Lehigh, while Justin White, Dean Shafritz and Jacob Moyar each added a pair of individual titles on the men's side.
During the meet, the Coach William Lawson Sportsmanship Award, which is presented to a swimmer from both Lafayette and Lehigh, was awarded to Lehigh's Jacob Moyar.
"He's one of the nicest guys and someone who has a lot of integrity and is a tough competitor for us," Herb said of Moyar's award.
