NEWARK, New Jersey- The Marist men’s swim and dive time triumphed in a historic win against NJIT, Friday night. The Red Foxes defeated the Highlanders 156.5-137.5 and improved to 4-0 for the first time since the 2006-07 season.
| Quote From Coach Randall |
“The men continue to find a way to win, which I couldn’t be prouder of.They rose to the challenge of taking on a solid NJIT team with great energy on deck from start to finish. It’s great to come out of a meet with several MAAC leading times, personal bests, and even a pool record in the midst of a solid training block. We have another great opportunity tomorrow against Colgate before we set our eyes on our mid season invitational.”
-Head Coach, Anthony Randall
