COACH'S QUOTE
"We competed hard and the women's team earned two great wins. On the men's side, we faced a tough UMBC team, which had one of its best meets of the season. I'm proud of our leadership our upper classmen have shown all season. They have helped our freshmen mature and we saw some good swims out of our young guys today." – ECU Head Coach Matt Jabs
