QUOTABLE-
"There were some really nice efforts tonight. We were out-gunned on the men's side, but it was still a great showing from our medley relay and our young crew of breaststrokers. This whole squad is young, they are stepping up one meet at a time.
On the women's side we had some nice wins and even 1-2 finishes in the freestyle events. And even some lifetime-best performances from some freshmen. Our freestyle relay at the end was a really stellar swim from all four women, a nice nice time for early November."
