"I was very pleased with our performance today. We stepped up and won a lot of close races," said Head Coach
Trevor Miele. "The team has put in a lot of hard training in and out of the water and they are pretty tired right now. It was awesome to see them be very aggressive and still be able to close out close races."
The Violets return to action on Friday and Saturday, November 2-3, when they host Stevens Institute of Technology at the NYU Fall Invitational at the PAF.
