FROM COACH PETERS

"WSU swam really well against a very strong opponent tonight," commented head coach Sean Peters. "I know the score tells one story, but the story that I took from it was that we saw quite a bit of improvement from last week. The Warriors continue to give it everything they have with training and performances. Ryan and the gang of sprinters swam a strong meet. Additionally, I felt that Ahmed Ahmed winning the 200 breaststroke and Joao Martimbianco Ribeiro having strong races overall were very impactful today."

UP NEXT

WSU will travel to Ashland on Friday, Nov. 8th, for a 5:00 p.m. meet.
