WHAT WAS SAID
"It was great to see our team race against probably the strongest team in our conference," said head coach
Tony Marleneanu. "This was a great test for us to see where we stand and I was really impressed to see every single one of my athletes stepping it up. It is amazing to see such fast times so early in the season, so we are very excited of what we can accomplish this season. I would like to congratulate all the members of my team for a great performance. It was a great win for the men's team; the first one against Rhodes in over 15 years!
