Coach’s Thoughts
“Great day for our team and seniors! I could not be prouder of how our team responded against a tough opponent in Drexel. Our divers started us out great, with our women going one-three on 1 meter and senior diver AJ earning his first NCAA zone cut, also on 1 meter. The team was successful in winning the close touches in the swimming events. We’re looking ahead to a strong end of the season,” added Coach Bruno.
