WALTHAM, Mass. – Junior Kaitlin McGahie (Boylston/Tahanto Reg.

The Falcons, who won 12 of 16 events, took care of Pace 185-114 and overpowered Merrimack 239-37 to improve to 7-1 on the season.

McGahie was the first to reach the wall in the 100 yard breaststroke (1:11.49), the 50 freestyle (25.15) and the 100 free (54.60). Mancini registered winning scores of 270.82 from the one-meter board and 274.57 off the three-meter.

Winning a pair of individual events were sophomore Anne Warren (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron HS) and freshman Kate Kaduboski (Dedham/Dedham HS).
