The Cavalier women, who registered a perfect score at the meet, were buoyed by the top-seven finishers in the 5K event and tied an event record for best overall team finish. Senior Anna Corrigan highlighted the talented group's overall outing with a first-place performance on the 5K course with an 18:04.50finishing time.
Meanwhile, on the men's side, three Cavaliers secured top-20 finishes in the 8K event en route to a second-place overall finish behind Georgetown. The Hoyas nabbed 20 total points to secure the victory ahead of the Cavaliers, who tallied 72 points - just one point ahead of third-place finisher Norfolk State.
Both squads will now begin preparation for the Paul Short Invitational, slated for Sept. 30 in Bethlehem, Pa.
