REACTION FROM HEAD COACH ERIC USBECK
On today's performance: "Today the team performed well for being tired this time of the year, we saw flashes of what we are capable of winning some events against good competition."
On the upcoming meet at ESU: "At the East Stroudsburg Last Chance Invite, it will be the final opportunity to swim some choice events for our athletes as well as secure championship cuts to get into the PSAC meet itself. Our main focus is to end the regular season on a high note preparing our squad for championships."
On the performance by Plempel: "Jordan has continued to excel throughout the season. Her ability to contribute to our team in any event she is entered in is invaluable. I'm excited to see how she continues to grow here at MU."
