Quotable
"Tonight was one of the most impressive team accomplishments I have ever seen. Every one of our swimmers who could score, did score. Not only that, in many cases they scored the maximum available. I could not be more proud for how hard this team fights, no matter the odds and no matter how exhausted they are. With only two sessions remaining, the Bulldogs are looking to turn some heads on the last day and make a strong statement in the process."
-Ian Quinn, Assistant Coach
"We had 17 opportunities to score points this evening, and we left every ounce of energy in the pool. Our team did what we do best – cheered, raced and moved up in team standings! Our team morale has never been better and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of this team."
