QUOTING HEAD COACH MARC LONG
“I’m proud of our women’s team for coming together and earning a Big Ten win on the road. They accepted the challenge, sometimes competing in events they don’t normally swim, to get a Hawkeye win. It was a positive, enthusiastic atmosphere and that is contagious. There is no doubt that we will build off this weekend.”
