FLASH QUOTE
"What a perfect way to end a memorable season. I thought all of the women swam so well and really stepped up when it was time to step up. I think we showed how balanced we are with having swimmers in every A-final and almost every B-final. We showed our depth, and it's really great to be right up in and amongst the top teams in the conference. We still have some work to do, but I'm really excited for next year already." – head coach
