COFFEY TALK 
“It was a good Senior Day. The weather cooperated with us against a very good Florida Gulf Coast team. I was very happy with our swimmers, including Aydan Horrigan in the 200 backstroke, who put up a very good time after a smart race. Kayla DaleyAmanda LoomisAshley Cozad and Allie Larrimore all had impressive swims as well. This was our first meet in a series of four coming up. We have a meet here next Friday at noon and we’re looking forward to improving every week. After a really tough training trip, we are getting closer to our goal of being at our best for the ASUN Championships in February.” —- Head Coach Ian Coffey
