QUOTE FROM COACH RANDALL
- “We fought hard but came up short against Binghamton. I thought we were able to match their energy which was an improvement from last week so we’re headed in the right direction. They suited up and had reasons to swim fast as their seniors swam at home for the last time, so numerous pool records were broken. Hats off to Binghamton. It was great to have some strong competition as we head into the final stages for MAACs. We’re looking forward to suiting up and show what really can do in Ohio.” –
