Dixon also took first in the 100 freestyle with a season-best time of 53.06.
Avery Visser and Alexsa Savage each swam season-best times en route to first place finishes in the 200 butterfly and 50 freestyle, respectively while Tess Harpur and Karla Ferrara swam their best times of the year to take second and third in the 100 breaststroke.
Visser also took first place in the 100 butterfly while Bookwalter was the fastest swimmer in the 200 backstroke.
UMass fared better in the diving pool, taking the top four on both the 1-meter and 3-meter platforms.

The Terriers are back in action at Fordham on Nov. 8. The meet is set to begin at 1 p.m.
