The result drops the Eagles’ overall record in duals meets to 1-1 on the season.
“Very competitive meet today,” Head Swimming Coach Derek Perkins said. “Great energy from our team today. Our divers were stellar again this week, taking care of business on both of their events. Lucie Fioux had her first win today with an impressive early season time in the 200 free. Our captains, Ali and Riley, were warriors today. They were impressive and carried us throughout the meet. Sav Mouat with back-to-back wins, both season-bests. Abby Szadorski finished with a lifetime best in the 200 breast today. She keeps getting better every week. Olivia Clarino made some big-time improvements. All in all, it was an impressive team performance regardless of the score.”
