QUOTABLE-
“This meet was a good chance for us to see how the team would perform coming straight off the bus. I’d say we were solid, with some good times across the range of events. We’ll need those skills in abundance this week as we road trip to Utah and BYU; the doubleheader on the road will really tell us a lot about where we are at, and how good we have the potential to be this year.”
– HEAD COACH BEN LOORZ
NEXT FOR THE REBELS: The Rebels hit the road for back-to-back dual meets in the Beehive State next weekend. UNLV faces Utah Friday at 5:00 pm and then BYU Saturday at 11:00 am.
