At UNLV, Zeebe secured wins in the 200 backstroke and 400 IM, placed second in the 100 backstroke and the 800 free relay, and finished third in the 200 IM, 400 free relay, 200 medley relay, and 400 medley relay. During the quad meet in California, she competed against some of the best in the nation despite not wearing a tech suit. She placed third in all three duals of the 400 medley relay, finished third against Wisconsin and fourth against UCLA and UC San Diego in the 100 back, took third against Wisconsin and UC San Diego and fourth against UCLA in the 200 back, and placed fourth in the 200 IM across all three opponents.

Freshman Eliza Lennox was the team's top freshman point contributor at both the UNLV Invitational and the quad meet in California.
At UNLV, Lennox claimed victory in the 50 free and earned third-place finishes in the 100 free, 100 fly, 400 free, 200 medley relay, and 400 medley relay. At the quad meet, she competed against top-tier competition without a tech suit, finishing first against Wisconsin, second against UC San Diego, and fourth against UCLA in the 50 free.
