Last year, the Brewers finished sixth of seven teams, led by sprint specialist Mathue Duhaney '13. Duhaney captured the 50 freestyle championship in a time of 21.81 seconds and also finished fourth in the 100 freestyle. Last year, the Brewers competed without Jack Smart '12—who finished second in the 400 IM and 200 Breast as well as a fourth in the 200 IM and fifth in the 100 breast in 2010—and Greg Sullivan '12, the 2010 1-meter and 3-meter diving runner-up, who both were completing semesters abroad. Both will be back with the Brewers this year. The diving competition will be hosted by Union College.

The Brewers enter the event with a 2-2 record, after a narrow defeat at the hands of cross-river rival State University of New York at New Paltz. RPI will host the swimming championships, while the diving competition will be held by Union College.

College and Connecticut College at Trinity College Round Robin

The Brewers dropped a tough 6-3 decision to Bowdoin College last year at Trinity.

In 2010 at the Vassar Team Challenge, the Brewers swept Connecticut College in the last meeting between the two schools. Connecticut College failed to win a single set as every Vassar player earned 3-0 victories.
