Murray talking about tomorrow's meet versus UNC Wilmington

"Tomorrow's meet will be a lot of fun and really interesting since it is Coach Daniel Dozier's alma mater. The ladies on UNC Wilmington are very good, and it will be a very competitive
meet."

Murray talking about swimming in the Justice Center Pool

 "Since we practice and race in this pool every day, we have such a good vibe here, and it makes it that much more fun where we can cheer as loud as we want, decorate and make it our own. It is a really great atmosphere that we are comfortable competing in."

Murray talking about the momentum after the Gardner-Webb meet

"It was amazing. It was the best we have ever performed at Gardner-Webb, and I think we have really high spirits going into tomorrow's meet."
