On Saturday in a victory against Mount Saint Mary College, McCulloch led off the 200 medley relay with a 29.66 backstroke split, helping the Hawks win the event in 1:54.15, and in the meet's final event, the 200 freestyle relay, she led off with a 24.47 and aided in the Hawks' pool-record time of 1:38.64. Her leadoff split serves as the second-fastest time in the 50 freestyle in the SUNYAC so far this season.
