Coaches’ Comments
“Today was a tough loss for our women but also a thrilling win for our men. The men’s meet came down to the last relay anchored by Nathan Dragon swimming back-to-back events. The women were there cheering for them every step of the way. It was another full team win from John Furner’s diving victory to Keith Elgar’s first 1000 of the season.”
“Bonaventure is a classy team. Our seniors once again showed who they are with their sportsmanship and perseverance, especially through a hard training block leading into SBU and MAAC’s. This is how we wanted to end the dual meet season, with grit, optimism, and the right send-off for our eight leaders.”
Up Next
The Purple and White will compete for a MAAC Championship Feb. 9-12 at the Burt Flickinger Center in downtown Buffalo.
