QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH MIKE SMIECHOWSKI

"The women responded to a little bit of early adversity in a great way. They lost a couple races in the beginning and didn't have great energy, but after the break we came out strong and dominated."

"I'm proud that our team can respond in a great way when things don't always go smoothly. it was a great team win"
