"We took on two very strong teams in our first dual meet," said Head Coach Mark Dziak. "Our swimmers held their own and I feel that our performances were solid across the board. There were a number of races in which we were just behind the winning swimmers and this gives us something to work on during our training. As I look at the results, I am pleased and feel that this was a good way to get the dual meet season going."
