Coach Van Allen's Thoughts
• "With some of our top girls a little banged up, we really focused on a team effort and fueled off one another."
• "Even though it's an early season meet where all the teams were not racing to max capacity, it's great to be on the other side of a one-point victory"
• "We are excited to pick up the intensity and get in some quality work these next three weeks before we return to racing on September 20^th."
