On February 7, 2016, senior All-American Nicola Mancini earned her sixth career gold medal in as many tries and sophomore Emily Niemiec repeated as 200 yard breaststroke champion to lead the Bentley Falcons during the final night of the 2016 Northeast-10 Women's Swimming and Diving Championships at WPI.

Their efforts helped Bentley finish third of nine teams in the championships with a total of 608.5 points. Assumption edged Southern Connecticut State for the team title, 796.5-760.

Mancini was named the Women's Diving Athlete of the Meet for the third time in her career (2013, 2014) after adding the three-meter championship to the one-meter title she earned on Friday night. She also doubled as a conference champion in 2013 and 2014 before sitting out last season with an injury.

Mancini totaled 421.90 points in the 11-dive competition to prevail by a commanding 67.65 points over Alexis Heiney (Pace).  Her night included dives of 51.30 and 49.20 points.

Finishing third to earn bronze was Mancini's classmate, Courtney Stone, with a score of 345.20.

Niemiec successfully defended her 200 breast title, reaching the wall in 2:23.18 to outswim Saint Rose's Shannon Walsh by 0.39 seconds.

Niemiec also helped Bentley finish second in the 400 free relay, combining with junior Kaitlin McGahie and freshmen Brooke Jameson and Kate Kaduboski for a school record 3:32.70. One of six school records set by the Falcon women over the course of the four days, it broke a mark of 3:34.19 that had stood since 2012.

Bentley earned three other silver medals on Sunday with McGahie the runner-up in the 200 freestyle (52.72), Kaduboski in the 200 backstroke (2:05.82) and sophomore Anne Warren in the 200 butterfly (2:08.39).
