"We had a real good weekend of racing under a lot of different circumstances,” said head coach Mark Sowa. “I feel like we put our athletes in a lot of competitive situations and they responded. A great example of this was Colleen doubling the 200 fly and the 500 free, winning both about five minutes apart from each other. Our freshmen also showed some signs of life as well and winning two conference meets in one weekend was a nice way to start off November." 

The Seahawks look to continue their winning streak Friday, November 7 when they travel to Newark, NJ to face New Jersey Institute of Technology. Last year the Seahawks defeated NJIT by a score of 109-59.
