WENDER'S WORDS
"Our team fought like crazy through the entire weekend to accomplish our goal of finishing in the top two," head coach Mickey Wender said. "We were challenged by some really good teams in Bucknell, Lehigh and Boston U. The leadership of our seniors was tremendous, and we got significant contributions from everyone on the team. I was particularly proud of Kara and Cecelia who broke Academy records in the last swims of their careers."
UP NEXT
Several Cadets will trek down to Annapolis, Md., next weekend for the three-day ECAC Championships beginning on March 1 at Lejeune Hall.
