Lafayette was third with 48 points followed by Wagner, Haverford, Rowan, Lock Haven, Stockton, and East Stroudsburg in the nine-team field.

She also teamed with Erica Sickler, Yesenia Boynton, and Kathryn Jenkins to finish second in the 4 x 400 meter relay (4:09.23) and was third in the 200 meters (27.07).
