Senior Solie Laughlin touched first overall in the 200 IM with a winning time of 2:00.91, while freshman Mia Motekaitis posted a season-best in the 500 free to finish third on the night as the UC Davis women's swimming and diving team finished day one of the 25th-annual Miami Invite in second-place as a team. 

In addition to earning a pair of "A" final second swims, Facey also helped the Aggies to a second-place finish as the anchor for the 200 free relay with a season-best time of 1:32.97. 

UC Davis closed out day one of the 25th-annual Miami Invite in second place as a team with 286 points. The Aggies finished ahead of Cincinnati (279), Ball State (130) and Milwaukee (123), while the host Redhawks paced the field with 375 points.

In the 500 free, Motekaitis shaved nearly three seconds off her third-place prelim time of 4:57.48 en route to a podium finish in the final with a season-best time of 4:54.81—the eighth-fastest time by an Aggie in program history in the event. Senior Nina Gonzalez, who also earned a spot in the championship final, finished seventh overall with a season-best time of 4:59.05, while junior Olivia Smith placed fourth in the "B" final (5:01.76) ahead of sophomore Kathryn Bockman who finished 15th overall with a career-best 5:05.49.

Junior Cora McClelland, who claimed a spot in the "C" final after winning a three-person swim-off with a career-best time of 24.05, also tied for 22nd overall. 

Closing out the night at the Miami Invite was the quartet of Laughlin, Schumann, McClelland, and Pincin who touched second overall in the 400 medley relay with a season-best time of 3:42.98. 

On the boards, the Aggies made their first appearance of the season in the platform event led by freshman Taylor Hornberger who finished ninth on the day with a score of 181.80.
