In winning her second NEC Rookie of the Week honor, Fredricks helped Central Connecticut pick up a win at Sacred Heart on Saturday. The freshman won the 200 backstroke in 2:05.72. Her time was five seconds faster than the runner-up and the fifth-best time in the NEC this year.

Fredricks also placed first in the 100 butterfly (1:00.61) and swam the opening leg of CCSU's victorious 200 medley relay team.

Durham earned her fourth NEC Diver of the Week award and second in a row following a convincing win in the 1-meter dive against Sacred Heart on Saturday. The junior finished first with a score of 268.57, winning the competition by over 60 points.
