"I was very impressed with the intensity and focus of our team today," head coach
Anne Goodman James said. "On paper it looked like it would be a much closer competition, but we just really stepped up. After a relay start DQ in the first event, we moved forward to take the win in the next two events, despite being the underdog. Selma (Jukic) took control of the 200 free and Jio (Chang) in the 200 IM, and that really got us on a roll. Every person made a difference today, and I was so proud of how gritty we were."
The Tigers return to action on Wednesday, Dec. 14 with a home meet against SCAC foe Austin College at Schlessman Pool. The meet begins at 5:30 p.m.
