QUOTE
“I'm proud of how the team raced today in our win over Brenau. The squad swam a lot of season-best times, which is not expected for this time of year and Stephanie Smith earned a lifetime best in the 500 free. We fought hard and came away with the win against a solid opponent.” – head coach Elizabeth Lykins
UP NEXT
- Asheville is back in the Justice Center Pool Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. ET for a dual meet against North Florida.
