• In the Missouri Valley Conference Showcase on Oct. 21-22, the women's squad finished second out of four teams at the south site. The Bears recorded season-best times in 13 events over the span of the two-day meet.
• In the tri-dual versus Miami (Ohio) and Indiana State on Nov. 4-5, Yuliya Zubina broke a MVC record in the 100-yard breaststroke, grabbing first with a time of 1:00.66 (44th best nationally) and resulting in her being named MVC Swimmer of the Week on Nov. 9. Also, during the tri-dual, the relay combination of Kelly Sego, Zubina, Samantha Roemer and Jordan Wenner snagged first in the 400-yard medley relay, recording a time of 3:38.80 that broke both the MSU and MVC record. The women defeated Indiana State, 196.50-154.50, and fell versus Miami (Ohio), 205-146.
• At the Purdue Invitational on Nov. 16-18, the women's team finished fifth out of nine clubs with 275 total points. Three out of the four schools that finished above MoState were members of Power-Five conferences (Louisville, Northwestern and Purdue). In the meet, Yuliya Zubina swam for a time of 28.68 in the 50-yard breaststroke, currently ranked 63rd in the nation, while Cabrini Johnson recorded a time of 2:14.38 in the 200-yard breaststroke, ranked 100th nationally.

• In the MVC Showcase on Oct. 21-22, the men's team defeated Evansville, 240.50-108.50, and fell to SIU, 222-128.
• In the dual against Miami (Ohio) on Nov. 4-5, Moffatt earned first in both the 500- (4:26.71) and 1000- (9:11.98) yard freestyle. His 1000 free mark currently ranks 49th nationally, while his 500 free time sits at 96th nationally, and both these events resulted in Moffatt being named Mid-American Conference Swimmer of the Week on Nov. 9.
