QUOTABLE-
"We have a lot of polishing left to do before Conference....this meet definitely showed us that. Hats off to UCSB; neither team was very fast this weekend, we were all swimming tired, but they were sharper and tougher. We have work to do the next three weeks before we taper, and we will do it."
- HEAD COACH BEN LOORZ
