HAMPTON, Va. \u2013 The Salisbury University women’s swimming program delivered a dominant performance this weekend, capturing their second straight New Jersey Athletic Conference championship title at the Hampton Aquaplex.<\/p>

Unlike last season’s nail-biting finish that earned the Sea Gulls their inaugural conference crown, this year’s victory was decisive from start to finish. The nationally-ranked 24th team controlled the four-day competition, accumulating an impressive 1,635 total points.<\/p>

The Sea Gulls’ commanding lead left little doubt about the outcome, as they finished more than 600 points ahead of runner-up Mary Washington, which earned 987.5 points. Rowan University claimed third place with 971.5 points in the 10-team field at the 2026 NJAC Swimming & Diving Championships that concluded Sunday.<\/p>

The back-to-back conference titles mark a significant achievement for the Salisbury program, demonstrating the team’s growth from last year’s dramatic championship victory to this season’s wire-to-wire dominance.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
