"This is by far was the most difficult physical, psychological, and emotional battle for both teams because of the quick turnaround on Friday and that the Bearcats are a quality team in all aspects of the sport," said Head Coach Andrew Lum.
 
The Lutes secured an early 11 points from Maya Lovre, Makenzie Chan-Orcutt, Annika Eisele, and Sidney Chan-Orcutt who teamed up to win the 400-yard medley relay in four minutes, 14.87 seconds, enjoying a 10-second buffer on the runner-up Bearcats.
