Five other Virginia swimmers -- Bo Greenwood, Michael Raab, Luke Wagner, Vanja Roqulj and Pete Amstutz -- tallied victories in events for the Cavaliers in the win.
The No. 17 women's team also took in a victory against the Tigers with a 151-90 win, improving to 2-2 overall, 1-0 in the ACC. The Cavaliers took 10 of 13 events in the meet with freshmen Kimi Kelly also garnering three victories. Kelly took the 1000-freestyle-, 200-butterfly and 500-freestyle for Virginia.
