POSTGAME COMMENTS: 
Head Coach Pete Cushman
"This was a nice start to our season. We always race this meet to start our season, and we can get a lot of feedback on where we are at. This group is relatively inexperienced, but despite that did a good job executing a plan, working as a group, and being aggressive. Beating USF and Saint Mary's is a nice bonus, and hoping we can repeat that at WCC's in October. We have a lot of room to continue to grow this fall, and we are looking forward to our next race."
