QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH MIKE SMIECHOWSKI 
"It was another dominant win for our men in back-to-back weeks. When we talked as a team at the beginning of the year, we had a process goal of learning to swim with more confidence. You can see that each week we are more and more confident and are poised for a breakout performance in February. It was a great team win."
