“I was really pleased with how we swam today,” Head Coach Laura Thomas said. “Our newcomers really stepped up to the plate and swam as good as they could, they showed me that they belong here. Overall I thought we swam very well as a team. I was proud of the team dynamic and how they supported each other. It was a lot of fun today.”
The Eagles had a standout race in the 50 Freestyle, taking 1-2 in the sprint. Freshman Mackenzie Browncaptured the race in her first collegiate swim meet with a time of 23.94, with junior Morgan Flemingtaking second in a time of 24.60.

“We’re going to be training very hard,” Coach Thomas said. “Campbell took it to us last year, so we’re hoping we will make a stronger showing this year. We’re going to be ready for them. We’re also looking forward to the entire campus to come out to the pool for that match, it’s a GATA match and our home opener, so I’m really excited to see the support for the Eagles on the 20th!”
