Head Coach Derek Perkins has now achieved a 2-0 start for the second time in his tenure, having previously done so in the 2019-20 season when Eastern finished with a 4-1 record in dual meets and placed third at the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championships. Perkins' teams have also achieved a 5-1 record in MAC openers.

Abby Szadorski took first place in both the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard breaststroke, while Tristen Mina secured victory in the 100-yard butterfly event.
Despite only scoring four points in the final event, the Eagles managed to hold on to their lead for a close win against Buffalo.
The Eagles will next compete against Indiana State at home on November 9.
