QUOTE:
"Today the team did an outstanding job in representing UNC Asheville and the student population. We are proud to support our local organization, Ladies Night Out, and the nationwide fight against breast cancer. Not only did we have a fast meet in the pool, but our generous fans assisted as we raised funds and awareness for a great cause.
I was most impressed with how our relays stepped up today. Both the 200 Medley and 200 Free Relay swam the team's fastest times of the season. It was an excellent showing for how their hard work in the pool and weight room is paying off." — Head Coach Elizabeth Lykins
