On today's top-three matchup:
"Today's win was important as we continue to head into the season. A top-three matchup is always tough, and today showed where our strengths are and where we need to improve our execution. We've had quite a few changes from our meet last week, but we're looking forward to celebrating this win tonight and heading back to practice on Tuesday to prepare for next weekend. The team knows what we have to improve and our goal remains the same – one meet at a time, one score at a time!"
