Women’s Swim & Dive Falls In Home Opener Against Vermont

Rae Dodson Led Red Foxes With Two First-Place Finishes

Quote From Coach Randall
  • "I'm very proud of the step forward we took today. While we may have come up short, there were so many positives that we can build off as we prepare for a short week before heading to Canisius. I'm excited about our depth as a team and how that will play out over the course of the year."
