"I thought we had some great swims against NCAA D2 Montevallo. We won 3 out of 4 events to start the meet on the men's side. Jamie Allison helped us come from behind in the 200 Medley Relay. We executed our races like we talked about. Morgan Brosch had the swim of the meet on the women's side with an in-season best 500 Free!" said Head Coach Trevor Trimpe.
The Firehawks will return to action on November 7 at Sewanee as they continue their fall slate of dual meets.
