Krasemann finished second in the same event but followed it up with a three-meter victory with a final score of 291.60.
"This meet started off with great momentum for us," head coach Anne Goodman James said. "There were so many big wins. The event that stood out to me the most was the women's 1000. All three women (Emma Phillips, Sienna Schaay and Lola Muntiu) swam very smart races strategically, and also raced extremely well on the back half."
James' daughter, Sarah, is an assistant coach for Southwestern and the two were reunited after the Pirates traveled up from Georgetown, Texas.
The Tigers will be back at it against Southwestern on Saturday inside Schlessman Natatorium at 11 a.m.
