The Bearcats also placed third (Erik Kantar, Gary Danilyan, Gregory Becker, Matthew Greenfield) in that relay for two more points for the final 119-108 win. 

Matskovsky had a solid meet with wins not only in the 200 free relay but also the 100 back and 200 free individual events.

Nicole Ousmanova was a member of the winning 200 medley relay and also took first in the individual 200 individual medley and 100 free events.
 
The College of Staten is currently reclassifying to NCAA Division II, but for the 2019-20 athletic year they are still playing a CUNYAC schedule, in addition to regional NCAA Division II opponents. The contests against Staten Island do not count towards the CUNYAC standings in all sports, but do count for overall season record.
