QUOTABLES FROM HEAD COACH ELIZABETH LYKINS
"Today we had a lot of success. We raced hard, won some very close races, but came up a little short. The start of the dual meet season is always an opportunity to learn and I was impressed with the strong team energy we had on pool deck. We were happy to welcome back some of our previously injured team members who got a chance to race for the first time in a while. Overall, a very successful day in the pool."– Head Coach Elizabeth Lykins
