COACH'S QUOTE
"Given we had a split squad this weekend, we didn't have as high of a team finish, but we had some very good performances," said associate head coach Joe Gingras. "This meet was one of the last tune-ups for the America East Championships in two weeks, and we accomplished many of our goals. Additionally, we got some IC4A qualifying marks today. Overall, it was a very solid day."
