Quote From Coach Randall

"It was a great meet on both sides against a very strong Canisius team. Our divers really set the tone early finishing first, second, and third and our swimmers followed suit. In some new events they really stepped up and raced well. We have a really good stretch against two top MAAC teams (Rider and Fairfield) coming up that will really test us to see who we are this early in the season."
