The Setters are in action for the final time at the Goldstein Fitness Center this season, hosting NE10 opponents Franklin Pierce and Saint Rose as the Blue and Gold honor their senior teammates on Senior Day.

Pace returns to competition for the first time since last week's meet at Bentley University. The women's squad, which suffered its first loss of the year against the Falcons (5-1), once again had strong showings from the diving tandem of freshman Sophia Howard (Johnson City, NY/Maine Endwell) and junior Alexis Heiney (Ivoryton, Conn/Mercy). Howard placed first in the one-meter (234.82) and the three-meter (234.07) en route to earning NE10 Women's Diver of the Week for the fourth time this season. Heiney placed right behind her teammate, earning second-place scores in both events.

Annabel Keppel-Palmer (Kent, England/Maidstone Grammar School), who earned her sixth NE10 Rookie of the Week award of the year, tallied a relay win the 200-free (1:43.71) as well as a solo win in the 200-back, setting the program record with a 2:08.79 finish. On the men's side, JunWoo Moon (Tokyo, Japan/St. Mary's International School), Filip Turecky (State College, PA/State College Area), Andresious Cyprianos (Bulawayo, Zimbabwe/Christian Brothers College), and Alec Young (Loganville, GA/Archer) were named NE10 Men's Relay of the Week for their 1:38.53 finish in the 200-medley, while Daniel Galarza (Edison, NJ/John P. Stevens) earned a pair of solo wins in the 500 and 1,000-free events.
