The Raiders, who improved to 6-3 overall, tallied their 11th consecutive win at Lineberry with the victory over the Minutewomen.
McGraw’s individual wins came in the 200 fly and 200 back as the junior led one-two-three sweeps in both races. McGraw tallied a 2:05.47 to win the fly ahead of Guyett (2:06.25) and Lia Kunnapas (Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.), who touched in 2:10.01. She returned to win the 200 back (2:05.82) ahead of Sarah Button (Mendham, N.J.) and Siembieda. McGraw was also a member of both winning relays. She teamed with Caitie Curran (Alpharetta, Ga.), Guyett and Siembieda to post a 3:58.24 in the 400 medley relay and then closed out the meet with Siembieda, Kunnapas, and Guyett to prevail in the 400 free relay (3:31.55).
Colgate’s final one-two-three sweep came in the 500 free as Guyett (5:01.92) placed ahead of Erica Derlath (Garden City, N.Y.) and Erika Mortenson (Chesterfield, Mo.). The junior’s winning time missed the Lineberry pool record by less than .5 of a second.
Santoro’s three wins all came in individual events. The freshman and Sarah Sciarrino (Buffalo, N.Y.) placed first and second in the 200 free with times of 1:55.96 and 1:58.78 respectively. Santoro returned to then sweep both the 100 (1:07.72) and 200 (2:26.25) breast events.
The other Colgate wins came in the 100 back, 1650 free, 100 free, and three-meter diving. Siembieda (1:00.54) edged Button (1:00.60) in the 100 back, while Derlath had little trouble in the 1650.

Kim Pilka (Great Falls, Va.) copped the top spot in three-meter diving 256.58) after placing second in one-meter competition.
Colgate did see one school record fall. Despite a third place finish, the combination of Kunnapas, Santoro, Ryan Marynowski (White Plains, N.Y.) and Christy Butrus (Dallas, Texas) posted a 4:01.20 to erase the school’s freshman record. The former mark of 4:04.48 was set in 2005.
