IMMACULATA, Pa. – Immaculata men's and women's swimming concluded their 2025-26 slate on Sunday after four days at the Atlantic East Conference Championships. Under the direction of head coach Josh Pace, both sides picked up solid wins during the season. Additionally, the record book was constantly being rewritten.

The men's side was 3-7 (1-3 AEC) on the season, while the women went 5-7 (2-3 AEC). For the women, they improved by two wins overall. Last year, they were 3-8 (2-3 AEC).

THE SCHEDULE

Immaculata's teams began the 2025-26 campaign exactly the same. On opening weekend, while both teams fell to Elizabethtown, they each bounced back with wins over Goucher and Moravian. The men picked up a conference win over Gallaudet before the holiday hiatus. The women earned two wins that day over Gallaudet and Cedar Crest.

In mid-January, the women defeated Lebanon Valley in a neutral meet at Widener. Both teams celebrated Senior Day in their final home meet of the season versus Arcadia. Liz Ferguson and Bella Hernandez were recognized for the women's team (there were no seniors for the men).

The Mighty Macs squads finished in fourth for the AEC Championships. The men collected 219 points, while the women had 413.
