Quotable
"The team had a nice outing today at NAIA opponent Brenau University. Being our last road outing of the season before championships, we wanted an opportunity to race and challenge ourselves. Our goal was to execute race strategies and fine-tune stroke techniques, and I feel we did a good job with this."
"We're looking forward to celebrating our eight seniors next weekend in a two-day dual meet to close the regular the season."
