Coaches Comments
“The crowd tonight was loud and excited and there was a lot of energy on both sides of the pool,” commented Coach Nick Cavataro. “We were aggressive in every race, which is great to see, but we didn’t finish the way we will need to on Saturday and in the MAAC Championships in February. We will be better.”
