WENDER'S WORDS
"We swam tough against an inspired Lehigh team on their senior day," head coach Mickey Wender said. "Lehigh was ready for us and swam great today. We did a good job overcoming some adversity, especially after traveling back from Florida and a long reorganization week. I thought we got better as the day went on and we will be a lot better tomorrow at Bucknell. We're at the peak of our training, coming off a 10-day training camp in Orlando. Executing well while in heavy training is a learned skill and an important part of the developmental process. We were tough and we're getting better every day."

UP NEXT
The Black Knights return to action tomorrow afternoon for a 1 p.m. Patriot League dual against Bucknell in Lewisburg, Pa.
