WHAT WAS SAID
"I am super proud of my team for stepping up to race with style and heart against a very successful Division II swim program," stated head coach
Tony Marleneanu. "Many races were close and could have gone either way, however we were unlucky. I was happy to see that we were able to post some best times, including one school record, in mid season. Even though our men's team was well outnumbered by the opponent. We have some things to work on for the next few weeks and we are confident that the next meet is going to go our way. Again, it was an amazing performance for the Warriors."
