“I’m proud of our team today. To go on the road and compete in a new environment, and get the win, takes mental strength and resilience. We had a lot of athletes step up. I’m proud of the direction we are heading, and I’m excited to see how we continue to develop as we head into our last regular-season competition next weekend against Auburn.

“We had a great crowd at our last home meet against Georgia Tech. I look forward to having all the fans come back out and cheer us on. It makes a huge difference to have everyone in the stands cheering us on. Can’t wait to see everyone back at the Aquatic Center next Friday.”
